[CQ-Contest] RE: PSE QSY to ..., CW capabilities, CQ9K story

[Frank Grossmann]

DE CQ9K

Hold on, wait people, please keep on asking me to qsy. I want to be asked
and I will say no if I don't want to and yes, I will try to come back to the
same frequency. If you standby. My dream: you keep the frequency clear for
me.

It was kind of disappointing again to see the big difference in reluctance
to QSY from CQWW SSB to CQWW CW.
Many of the mults I asked to QSY didn't understand the question (and yes, I
sometimes did QRS). Seems like many of the CT/TR/whatever CW keying only (no
keyer) types hopefully copy the callsign but often not much else.

Regarding callsign: How many of you have been fooled by my somewhat
provoking callsign?

other times others in pile ups I participated in called me "QSY QSY",
another funny thing was calling 9K9C, he maybe thought to hear his echo
reflection from the north pole.

Congratulations to the fine operators who made 6 band QSOs with me:
8P9Z, A61AJ, CN8WW, CT1DSC, DF0HQ, ES9C, HC8N, K3LR, OT0T, ZB2X

Those having 5 band QSOs (J75KG, NR1DX, RW2F) with me, thanks, how about 6
next year?

Listening to HC8N he was the most consequent guy to ask people for QSY.
Moved him from 20 to 40 to 80 to 160 with being 80 the weakest band. He was
loud on 160!
