[CQ-Contest] Copying

[KI9A at aol.com]

Really??? 
 
 If I sent you ETT,  would you really know if I meant 500, or  100?? What if 
I meant 100, and you thought wrongly it was 500?? See what I  mean?  In other 
words, even if I copy ETT correct, log it, you are thinking  I should also 
have to be a mind reader?

Chuck,

I do believe it is on you.  Should the other station  have sent something 
other than ETE?  Probably, but I bet he programmed  ETE into his contest software 
before the contest and just hit it every time he  needed to give his exchange 
or a fill.  It stinks for you, because it  ruins your rate, but if ETE is 
sent, figure it out. If I had a question on  that one, I would have sent "505?" 
(not AGN?) and if I heard an R, a QSL or a  repeat of ETE, I would have logged 
505.

Also, please don't take your  Q's and go home over a single busted exchange.  
Just ask for the  fill!

Really?  It's on me, during a 150 hour to EU, on a noisy band, to try and
figure  out what the hell TTE means? I don't think so. Or, how about this  
one--
ETE.

I logged it as sent. If I get dinged, that will be the  last time I submit a
log not only for that contest, but for ANY contest  that they sponsor.
Period. And, these days, I think they would want to  hang on to any contester 
 that
is active, as long as he/she follows  the rules. And, the rules pretty much
state you log what is sent. And, I  heard TTE, ETE, 2K, AK.

We have  brains to decode abbreviations, let's use them, or ask for fills  or
clarification.
