I just setup the fldigi-3.11.6 macros for the NAQP-RTTY
contest this weekend and recalled some recent discussions
about the use of a dash in a two part Exchange to compensate
for stations that do not have UnShift on Space set correct.
The way I currently have it setup is my S&P response will be
QSL DICK TX AA5VU TU
and for runs it will be
<HisCall> Dick TX <HisCall>
If ask to repeat. I may send
DICK TX DICK-TX
What are others planning to use?
Soapbox: Hopefully, the stations calling CQ will use call signs
for reports. It may save the CQ station some time but really
confuses the S&P stations when the CQ send a report without
a call sign.
It's like saying I will QSL the first and loudest station responding
with a QSL. Several stations have been using this practice and
it just causes QRM due to requests for repeats. I may be alone
but I consider this as a rude operating practice.
