[CQ-Contest] Copying exchanges in ARRL DX CW

[Alan M. Eshleman]

...I have a modicum of sympathy for those who bust it. Of course they should have listened, but, being an old fart, I still get mildly annoyed when the "KH6" I hear is in Montana or the "W6" is in Florida or the "KH0" is in Colorado.  Most of us grew up in ham radio believing that "9" was Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin.  Jim's and my contest club (the Northern California Contest Club) has several W1s, including the current president. This train has, of course, left the station and I do understand how attached we become to our calls, but keeping them after a big move contributes to confusion.    

As always: work what you hear.

73,
