I have to remember to use my pet's name at the next NAQP :-)
Speaking of which, 99% of RTTY NAQP didn't even blink
when I sent "chen," but fully half of the CW NAQP guys last
weekend asked "name?"
Well, 25% asked "name?" another 25% asked "nag?"
AA5AU didn't miss a beat. Even asked for a QSY. (Sorry Don,
15m was completely dead.) I had lots of people try to QSY me;
was Oregon that rare during CW NAQP?!
A couple of weeks ago, well into an SSB contest, I called one of
the regular VK RTTY'ers. He said in surprise, "I didn't know you
speak!" At which point I sent him 59 002, confirming that I rarely
do :-).
