[CQ-Contest] SS Exchange Funnies :-)

[Gerry Hull]

My best two exchanges in SS SSB where: (Calls changed to protect the guilty)

"CQ SS CQ SS Whisky Two Papa Victor   Whiskey Two Papa Victor SS"

"W4 Ex Ex Ex"

"W Four Ex Ex Ex. your Number 919 M W2PV Check 59 Western Mass"

"W2PV, your Number 1 C W4ExExExs 07 KY"

"What's your number and Precedence again please"?

"1 C ONE CEE  AS IN CHARLIE, I'M AT HOME RUNNING COMMERCIAL POWER!"

Um, I guess his last previous contest was Field Day


A few QSOs later...

W Zero Y Y Y, your number 1201 Multi W2PV 59 Western Mass"

"W2PV, your number 35 A W Zero YYY 07 UT, but I am mobile in Nevada"

"OK, your mobile in Nevada, so your section is Nevada, right?"

"No, I said UTAH, but I'm mobile in Nevada"

I logged it as Nevada...  I'll let the log checkers decide that one.

Always a delight to see newcomers in the contest.  Many great ops were
teaching the exchange to newbies.
