If "please copy" is the worst of our problems, I'd say we're in good shape.

Copy?

73, de Hans, K0HB

Decent contesting form seemed to rule this past weekend. I only heard
"please copy" a couple of times.

Admittedly since I wasn't working US stations, my sample may have been
biased. Maybe the DX stations working the US stations heard all kinds of
"please copy".

I remember when I did a lot of Digital at Field Day this summer and there
was a whole bunch of "please copy" in the digital exchanges! So maybe this
is a US-ism.
