But how do you know when your call is copied wrong???  When guys
are running, I send "w7why 599 OR" or whatever.  The guy on the
other end comes back with "tu qrz?"  Did he get it right??  Did
he hit a wrong key and delete it??  Did he hit a wrong key and
enter my call wrong??  There in NO way to be sure your call is
right unless you say, " please repeat what you received so I know
it's right."  Anything else is just an educated guess.  73
