I enjoyed the NAQP-RTTY contest and the majority were very good operators. My
Pet Peeve is the unskilled operator trying to run SO2R. Skilled SO2R operators
are seamless and the S&P callers never know the station calling CQ are running
SO2R. To S&P operators an unskilled CQ station seems to be deaf, keeps
calling CQ over and over again and not responding to S&P callers. My guess is
the SO2R station may be tied up working pileup of S&P callers on another band.
If you are an SO2R operator and start getting a lot of action on one band, turn
off the CQ bubble machine on the other band until you work the pileup down to a
manageable level.
My 2-cents worth!
