when people sent the full exchange when I requested a fill invariably the
call and 599 printed fine but the serial number would be #!% #!*. If
the RST is something other than 599 yes please send it again, otherwise
just the number 3 or more times seems to work best. Also, what is with
the WI0WA WI0WA WI0WA DE XX1XXX. I know my call and it is his I want to
know.
