[CQ-Contest] Why is he ashamed of his call???

[Steef]

In the standard exchange of N1MM of recent versions, the call of the
calling station is send again.

So you are calling cq K9XXX test.
Station comes RA9XXXX.
So you are sending RA9XXXX 5NN T5.
Then he comes back with; RA9XXXX 599 18.
Then you think “What?”
Did I copied it wrong?
Then you send RA9XXXX TU.
Then he sends RA9XXXX 599 18 TU
You think “??????what is that?????”
So you go RA9XXXX QSL?
Gone he is.

Of course the second time you go HU?
The third time you already start to ignore it.

Then the tenth time you really did copied it wrong.
And it takes forever before you notice the station tells you to chance his call.
Be course you got it wrong.

Maybe it is a good idea to look at the things you send, when you are
cluster clicking :-o
Or just change the standard exchange in N1MM.................


But remember; HAVE FUN WITH THE HOBBY!!!!!
