All,
Back when I participated in more contests, I too would add the
<CR><space><space> at the beginning of each transmission ... thought then and
still do think its a good idea.
The observations regarding off frequency responses. I used to think this was
getting to be the norm .. that and the move to 200 hz shift due to the movement
to TNCs. This off-frequency response (and wide shift) is VERY noticable when
using a scope to tune. Often stations were so far off freq as to be out of my
narrow receive band-pass.
It was so bad a few years ago that I'd work split when running a freq .. so I
could t-u-n-e my receiver way off freq to get all respondents.
