Admittedly I'm the new guy here. But I have to say, I really liked
seeing the other stations call in the. I mean they suggest putting CQ
at the end of the CQ. If you roll up and see a CQ, and just through
your call out there. When they send the exchange, then it is all
there. Such as;
VE2FK: CQ Test de VE2FK CQ
NM4M: NM4M NM4M
VE2FK: NM4M 599 05 QC QC VE2FK
This confirms for the S&P'er that just popped on the scene what the
call is. It also confirms what the call is from the CQ. I saw 3
group CQ's sent out that all had different calls.
If I had just arrived and threw the call out, then I had to ask Call
AGN? Yes, this is my fault for throwing my call out there before
being fully prepared. But isn't the point of CQ at the end of a CQ so
that people can respond when they just roll up?
Your already sending the text anyway, and I already know my call, and
I think I know yours. It just seems like cheap insurance. Just one
guys opinion.
Thanks for the QSO in the contest. 73
