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,
