[CQ-Contest] SO2R technique

[Michael Shapiro]

This is  a very good point. With a long skip I may not hear the other station on my frequency and am running a risk that the station I just worked will not have me in the log. 

N6RO, Ken's advices for this case that I'm trying to follow are: (1) always include the other station and your own callsigns in the exchange; (2) if there is a shadow of uncertainty related to the exchange you've got back (if the other guy does not follow Ken's recommendation), don't send TU, ask again!

73 de WA6O, Mike
