[CQ-Contest] World Wide Digi DX Contest Results.

[DXer]

This is certainly a big part of the problem, and as implied, not caused 
by the contest.

Some may still be using old versions of the software that won't pick up 
the sequence from the RR73. Others are on a mission to enforce their 
standards, like here on the list, they are hams too after all. LOL

I have actually tested this in the past. I have on occasion 'fed' the 
other guy with RR73 for a few cycles, then changed to the 'standard 
definition', and the contact completes right away. Yes, propagation may 
have been a factor once, maybe twice, no... make that three times plus, 
but not always.

Being a 'live and let live' kind of a guy, I let them do what they want, 
and I do what I want. I have 'enjoyed' some loooong incomplete contacts 
since adopting this behaviour. ROTFLM

What a great hobby!!!!
