There are several things that ops who are asked for repeats can do to
speed the contact. Most involve having enough macros to address
specific requests. I always have a macro for each part of the exchange,
such as my name, my age, my zone, my serial number, and even 599 (cause
yes I have had requests for repeats on RST) so I can send just the
requested part of the exchange.
The repeat requester can help also. One will note that most of the
exchange parts I mention above involve numbers, thus a repeat request
for "number" or "nr" can be ambiguous in some contests. The requester
should be specific, i.e. "agn serial" or "zone?" or "rpt time" if he'll
get really bothered by getting the whole exchange again.
73 to all and good luck in the NAQP,
Dave, K2YG/1 IOTA NA46 (for now).
