[CQ-Contest] PSE COPY

[Mike Ricketts]

" 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?"

For those that skip message #1 (grid) that would be accurate.
