Ah, but often in those condx, I hear "crashbangQRMcrash
72?"...so I send "472A" because I want to make sure you've
got it....if I hear the whole thing, then I'd send "R".
Good point -- Most of my experiences like this were with Q and A stations
that were PW, and I guess I tended to assume I was much louder to them, but
it isn't necessarily so.
