Exactamente, Señor!!

At XA5T, I made it a point to use our call after every QSO.

It was amazing how many times I was asked for our call.

I cannot believe they just spun onto the freq and called in the
pileup without knowing who it was.. But, I guess that has to be
what happened.

I was also amazed at the number of times we were duped.  There
were times when the same station came back ten minutes later and
called us again.... AND we had a clear frequency, so he couldn't
have been workings someone else on the QRG that I couldn't hear.
I had one guy come by three times within about an hour or two.  I
guess he just liked our call.

73,
