Donald:

In your diatribe including the following,

"I watched this as well. A I could see OCCASIONALLY between the constant US
calls was a QRZ de VU2WAP?
Most time these US stations were right on top when the VU was
transmitting....Here's a snippet of what I saw in just 3 minutes of
operation (straight off the mixw screen):

These guys weren't listening -- some like AI2Q were just sending constantly
KU4J would send repeatedly after the others sent...
Particularly disturbing were the 3 lines by 5 calls of AI1Q -- he wasn't
going to let anyone else call...."



...you publicly accused me of "sending constantly."  How discourteous of you to chastise me that way! I have been a ham for 45 years, and I have learned to make calls in whatever manner I deem proper and consistent with good operating practices, regardless of the staccato manner most MIXW operators employ for their brief contest-manic 'hello-goodby UR 599' operations.

What you utterly failed to realize before you started your public rant was that I was operating a Model 28 Teletype Corp. teleprinter machine, and not a PC with a sound card. Moreover, you didn't know that VU2WAP is a DX friend of mine. It is my perogative to call him properly, and to gain his attention by a call of whatever length I deem appropriate. What's more, you have absolutely no way of knowing what I am hearing at my QTH, regardless of conditions at your QTH.
