Milt:

I was about to comment on NOT using the word "check" before the check in the message when you suggested it is a good thing. In my opinion, "check" sounds too much like "six" in QRM. I couldn't count the times I thought I had got the first digit of the check as "six" only to finally figure out that the weak or QRMed station was saying "check." It would be a good practice NEVER to say check before the numbers, although I am sure I must have said it myself sometimes.

73,


John, K4BAI.
