I've lost points when the other guy sent his own call incorrectly. I had
a recording to prove it. Is that fair?

>>> 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.

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?
