Really?

I operate by the 'norm', on a freq which I am currently 'borrowing', the other op is coming to me with his 'operating weirdness' and you're making me sound like the villain.

From my perspective, its kinda like someone coming to your house, as a guest, and instead of behaving themselves to societal norms, they take a pee on your potted plant.
I guess I would be a rude host if I didn't take that in stride.

All good comments.

I try to be loud, but I guess we all do.  I think anyone with a bit of
experience can tell if they're reasonably loud, or not.
If I'm loud, I will send it ONCE.  If I change bands or conditions
change, I will adjust accordingly.   It's not rocket science, if you do
not copy what I send, ASK AGAIN.

MY PET PEEVE.

I don't care how loud either one of us is, when you call me, just send
your call.   I DO NOT want your entire exchange.  I usually use ESM and
am expecting things in a certain order.  I develop a rhythm when running
and don't appreciate it being NEEDLESSLY disrupted, just to satisfy what
you may thing are your special 'needs' or privileges.  It is *my*
frequency till I relinquish it and we will play by my rules (which are
not really difficult.)  Just use the normally accepted exchange format.
It is a bit arrogant to expect anyone to make an exception based on
self-centered, misguided needs of one individual.  I forgive the
Italians, as this must be embedded in their DNA.   \
*IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, DO NOT WORK ME* because I will not be anxious
to work you.

Some RTTY operators insist on sending their exchange just once; for example, they send " David VA " once.Now if I had static crashes, QRM, QSB, etc, I may have missed their info and would have to ask for a repeat. If they had sent it twice then more than likely I would have copied enough of it that a repeat is unnecessary. I would ask all to send their info twice, so repeats are less likely. Doesn't that make sense? If not, tell me why not. That's my 2 cents worth.
