[CQ-Contest] Watch your dits this weekend

[Sandy Farley N7RQ]

My mistake then, Henk.
 
So how do we stop this bad copying?  For EE5E do we send:
 
Dah Dah Dah (pause) Dah Dit (pause) Dit (pause) Dah Dah Dit (pause) Dit Dit (pause) Dah (pause) Dah Dah Dit Dit Dah Dah (pause) Dah Dah Dah (pause) Dah Dit (pause) Dit (pause) Dah Dah Dit (pause) Dit Dit (pause) Dah (pause) Dah Dah Dit Dit Dah Dah (pause) Dit Dit Dah Dit (pause) Dit Dit (pause) Dit Dit Dit Dah (pause) Dit (pause) Dah Dah Dit (pause) Dit Dit (pause) Dah (pause) Dit Dit Dit (pause) Dah Dah Dit Dit Dah Dah (pause) Dah Dah Dah (pause) Dah Dit (pause) Dit (pause) Dah Dah Dit (pause) Dit Dit (pause) Dah?
 
Mmmm... maybe not.

I search for the mentioned calls in the logs of my cluster.

Following calls were spotted during the WPX CW:
KH6XS
KH7X

And KH7XS of course.

Looks like most errors were by bad copying, not using the cluster!.
