YES! Garry, NI6T, has allowed our CQP group to use his call several 
times. We don't send his call at the speed of light. Our club call is 
W6BX. I insert half spaces in both calls to make it easier to copy. 
W6JTI mostly works QRP and mostly CW. He carefully inserts half-spaces 
in his F-key messages. I watched him do it setting up for our team 
expedition to CM79 for ARRL VHF. GOOD ops who aren't ego-centered do 
stuff like that.

A common mistake that EU stations make in DX contests is to bang away at 
35+ WPM when conditions are causing lots of flutter over a path. Why is 
it that these guys think that THEIR signal doesn't have the same flutter 
at my QTH that mine does at theirs? Did these guys sleep through the 
fundamental principle of reciprocity?
