[CQ-Contest] PSE COPY

[john at kk9a.com]

I worked the "Please Copy" guy too, it made me smile. Regarding  
stations sending my callsign multiple times I really had to decided if  
I wanted a serial number repeated as I was likely get the whole long  
report string again with the number only once or twice and the number  
still may not print 100%. Some stations do not even immediately  
respond if you ask for the repeat. I do not put the DE in front of my  
callsign when calling someone and I never send their callsign. This  
seems to work fine, just like on CW or SSB. I agree with Randy that  
RTTY operating is getting better which makes for good rates and lots  
of contesting fun.

Thanks for the QSOs in 2021 WPX RTTY,

I want to know why RTTY ops always send my call when they are calling  
me.  So many times I would hear my call print in the clear and then  
there was QRM from other callers when they were sending their call.

I spent the whole weekend just sending DE AK1W AK1W when I called  
people.  Seemed to work just fine.

Very entertaining RTTY contest this weekend.  The quality of RTTY  
operating just keeps getting better and better.  Activity too!
