[CQ-Contest] PSE COPY

[john at kk9a.com]

I wonder how the RTTY operating practice of sending the report when calling
a station started? I have only heard U.S. stations doing this and it was
confusing the first time I heard it. You're correct about it starting a year
or so ago, are FTx QSOs made this way?

Yes. But one very bad habit we need to nip in the bud is those who make
their initial call with their complete exchange, covering up other callers.
I first encountered it perhaps a year or so ago. I refuse to work them, and
have a macro for "only send your call." We need to track down the source of
the software/sample macro files that are programmed to do this.
