[CQ-Contest] Antwort: Re: Frustration this weekend.....

[gissel at fh-ludwigshafen.de]

Hi all,

as one of the remaining OPs operating unassisted I agree that stns who do 
not identify at least after every second QSO are truly annoying.

However, the procedure suggested by Barry worked fine for me, too. As I 
found the sequence "CALL?" might be a bit too long, every time I was 
needing an ID I would commence my report by "CAL", followed directly by 
the usual "5NN 14". All stations worked this way reacted on the spot and 
included their call in the next CQ.

Re: [CQ-Contest] Frustration this weekend.....






I usually call the guy, then before giving a report, send CALL?  It 
usually works.  Once in a while I'll get a TU.  if he logged me, without 
me sending a report and without me knowing his call, he'll be dinged 3 
QSOs for his "efficient operating" as there's nothing in my log.
