[CQ-Contest] You can use the internet to make QSOs?

[Bill Parry]

Igor, I think that I agree with Hans. If I am CQing and running stations, I repeat my call after every QSO. It is sent by the computer and I know that it is sent right. Unfortunately, in every contest someone posts me on the packet as WH4X instead of W5VX. I usually get 4 or 5 stations that have this error. I have sent the call correctly but the receiving station has not copied correctly and didn't let me know what he put in his log and says that he has copied it correctly.  I don't think that I should be penalized for his inability to copy my call correctly and for him confirming what I sent.

 

I send the other stations call and my call every QSO. If they sent my call I could correct the problem but they seldom do. If I don't send my call every QSO ten I get what I deserve!

It is not logical to me, Igor.

 

 

You are not responsible for what I enter in my log, only that your log is accurate.

 

 

 

If you are more skilled than I am, you should earn a higher score than I earn.
