I didn't notice this at all, but there could be at least one explanation for
some of this.
SO2R operators will purposely cut off their transmission in order to transmit
on the other radio. I do this constantly. If you watch me CQ, you might find
me dropping my signal at any time during the message because I don't believe it
making anyone wait on the other radio for my report. Well, someone always has
to wait a second or two if there are QSOs occurring on both radios at the same
time, but I try to keep the delay at a bare minimum. RTTY SO2R is at an
all-time high right now.
What I did see was people not putting a space at the end of your messages so
someone would send CQ and I couldn't get their callsign:
CQ RU W1XYZRUVMXOONFEONB
So I didn't know if it was W1XY or W1XYZ if they weren't in the SCP file.
Overall, I thought everyone was pretty good and the quality of operators is at
an all-time high. Probably saw a lot of other stuff too but don't remember them.
