I did Dave. Your right several did not and yes I did leave them in...but
everytime it happened I
paused and it slowed me down (not that I was going that fast anyway).
Usually I retransmitted thinking they
did not get it and if they were just S&P they were gone and I was left
wondering.
as far as hearing it...well maybe I could train my ears but right after one
guy would call there was usually a bunch of people trying to get in...it was
often like a DX pile up. There was lots of signals in there. I guess as
WA6BOB mentioned its a SPRINT. This is the nature of the beast. I learned
that last night.
Good advice Dave, thanks
