I am pretty weak on 15m & 20m, so I am doing mostly S&P this weekend.

I am completely flabbergasted / dismayed / awed / amused / disappointed /
shocked by the number of DX stations who are asking VE2's and VE3's to
repeat their State. 

Easily 50% of the VE qso's I have tuned across, maybe even 75%.

 

I can only imagine how frustrated I would be if I were in Canada - because
not only am I not in a State, but the DX stn should already know my exchange
without me even sending it anyway.

 

All you VE's - make sure to take your blood pressure medication this
weekend!

 

73 & happy corntesting,

p.s. Just heard somebody in Europe work WY1MB in the Yukon Territory on 20m.
That's a new one!
