On the opposite scale, I noted a number of 2x1 and 1x2 US stations on 40
Meters who had the wrong VFO selected, announcing to the world on 7.040 (and
other low frequencies) that they were "listening this frequency and 7.040".

I had the same thing happening with NM. They didn't understand New Mexico,
but quickly acknowledged if I gave them November Mike. It is the narrow
vocabulary in amateur contesting that is the bottleneck. I am thankful they
do as well as they do.
