[RTTY] just to remind people

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Well Bill, the scenario you mention is true... and I don't see anything "wrong" with that innocent mistake... that happens to all of us... the problem last night was N8S specifically asked for SV? SV? SV? and the IK kept calling on top of the SV... I think this happened at least 3 times before the Blacklist message was sent.

So in a few weeks when BS7V responds with "OL OL OL only" and I jump in with "KØRC" and wipe you out, I will deserve to be blacklisted! (unless I'm running QRP, or with wires only, or mobile, or I have to leave for work in 5 minutes, or I don't have an amplifier and you do, or because I can, or...)

I can't be the only person who got out of 'sync' with a rtty dx station.
And called out of turn.

QRM, QRN, can cover a station also so you didn't hear he call someone 
specific.
Especially wrong vfo actions.
And I think 'Cops' can create many of these 'out of sync' situations.

Especially in the big pileups where he has to hunt for a callsign, the 
interval can vary greatly.
If I don't hear him respond with a callsign.
I give another 1x.

So sometimes, the out of turn calling was innocent.
