[CQ-Contest] CQ WW SSB. Mathematics

[Brian Lambert]

You are exactly right, Al.

I am relatively new to this sport, but when the DX station doesn't repeat my
call properly, and calls QRZ, I will stay on frequency and hammer him/her
unil I hear my call properly.  Sometimes this take N tries as the rate
hounds will try to brush you off.  But I stick with it.  I need to hear my
call come back, cleanly, before I will move on.

I am always amazed at how some stations are willing to suffer UBN's for high
rate.

Best 73,

Brian, N1IK

You should be penalized because you didn't verify that they had your call
correctly.  Typo's into the log will never work out right with the penalty
rule, but the idea is that each contact is an accurate *2 way* exchange of
information.  You have 2 responsibilities during the exchange - that you
copy his info correctly, and you make sure he copies your info correctly.
