During the CQ WW DX there was a lot of QRN and QRM....exchange was
something like...
Me....S & P up the band, hearing a DX in an exchange, checking he's not
a dupe, waiting, then....
DX: "...TU" at 35 wpm machine gun cw.
Me: "N4DXI" at 20 wpm contest slow.
DX: "N4DX(crackle pop) 5NN 3A" still at light speed but I really don't
expect him to slow down.
Me: Did he get my call or not? Sounds like he missed it so I reply,
not wanting to break his rythm, I repeat my call and add my exchange.
"N4DXI 5NN 5"
DX: "TU"
Unfortunately, I still don't know if he got my call. I guess I could
have just come back with my call and forced him to reply with my
call....but if he had it right in the first place, he'd think I was a
lid or be confused
or he may have already gone to the next call.
Because I sent my call again, do I trust him to get it right without
his acknowledgement? I especially want him to get my call correctly
for later LOTW match and my growing DXCC count.
What's the best way to handle this situation?
73....John Bescher, N4DXI
