I too had several stations send me NR only without a call. They did not
make it into my log and probably missed the AK mult! Please remember in
your quest to keep your macro short you may not make into MY log. When I
send in my log for checking and score calculation any busted calls are a
reflection upon ME and my operating skills, not the guy who sent a report
without a call. If I follow Chen's lead and just remain silent and wait for
a resend of all the info the result is a slower exchange rate for everyone -
the guy calling me, me and all those other callers in the pile up. This
utterly defeats the purpose of the super short macro. Think about it!
