[CQ-Contest] QRL and QUESTION MARK

[Jerry Devine]

My elmer taught me to use QSU  instead of QRL? on CW. And thats plain ole
QSU no ? appended.

ka2rrk asked elmer:	When I asked why?

Elmers Reply:	He said it's a pretty good question student.  And
the answer 		is elementary.

		One the question mark is built in just like other Q
signals
		no need for redundancy.  And with no argument added
		you mean this frequency. Otherwise they who copy aren't
		fluent and thats another story...

		No one memorizes the Q signal list, And the odds of them
		doing so are NIL.  

ka2rrk nodes in acknowledgment.


Elmer continues:	While half the world on a frequency stumbles to
find
		thier list to look up QSU,  You've gained control of the
		frequency.

		Because thats given you the silence to follow with your
		CQ whatever buisness.  But you should realize that there
		is an art to communication with CW. It's all timing.  And
you
		as the operator must chose the correct time and place on
		the dial.  

		And QSU is really a better description of what you wanted
		to do in the first place, isn't it?  

ka2rrk:		Thanks I knew you were greatest op!  And smiles
come
		forth mutually.

My elmer was the late  Dave Johnson  W2BN
