[RTTY] How about this!

[Wolf (DL6JZ)]

Hi Phil,

tks for the QSO in WAEDC. Your operation technics was fine as usual.

The problem you described is a very hard case. But who had invented
exchanges like:

 ...................DL6JZ DL6JZ de <hiscall> <hiscall>
...................gm es qsl ................ ur 599 006 006 de
<hiscall>

I saw such exchanges with a lot of dots for the first time in the CQWW
RTTY. But last weekend there were tons of such time wasting replies. I
think the programmer of this software (MixW??) published examples for
macros which looks very special but which are not suited for contesting.

I hope this will be a temporary problem only!!

Hi all,

I couldn't find the call when I wrote my WAEDC report, but I have now
found the call that really wound me up during one CQ session.

I was happily working away, and after a TU QRZ?, I get
....IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH.......
which I can't click on, or I get all of that in the call field, so I
have to type it in.
By then, he is calling again, so I reply with a report.
Nothing. I send again, but still nothing.
OK, time to call CQ, and then gues what....
Yup! ....IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH....... is back again. Type
the call in quick and reply. Wait. Wait a bit more, just in case.
Nothing. Re-send the report. Nothing.
Call CQ, get several replies, one of which I work, and as this call
replies, I get ....IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH...IZ8DWH....... all over
again.

If anyone knows IZ8DWH, please advise him that this is NOT a good way to
send your call!

73 all

Phil GU0SUP
