Phil and Guys
I'm sorry I didn't realise my curiosity would start a third world war over
the do's and don'ts during contests
If I do not get the number first time around I always use the NR? NR? AGN.
Once I have it for sure then I send either a TU or a QSL ( and on really
good days I might send out a GL)
Now then back to the business at hand (after all this is the writelog Q & A
reflector and not the "this is how you operate in contests reflector).
Apart from WL 10.45 putting RTTY on the section of the cabrillo file did
anyone else find any problems??
Cheers n Beers
Nick

Hi Nick and the group,
PLEASE do not do this! It may look "neat" but it is a real pain in the butt!
I got too many confusing serial numbers in WPX, with the result that I
clicked on the real serial number which then went into the callsign field!
If you answer my CQ, and I send you a number which you can't copy, ask for
it again BEFORE you send me your report. Don't expect me to confirm what you
sent, as if I am unsure, I will ask for a repeat from you before I send TU
QRZ?
Now, that brings up another point:
I saw some stations sending GU0SUP TU PLS MY NR AGN??
NO NO NO! If I see TU or RGR, I will log the contact and move on, thus
missing the request for a repeat.
If you want my number again, send NR?? NR?? and I will see that and respond
accordingly.
Just my two cents worth!
73 de Phil GU0SUP
