Hi Phil and all ,
Ohhh,  Yes, quite a common, still. This is definitely not a "fat finger" 
syndrome.
There is some other diagnosis - "ithinkiamfastandclever" or arount that  
:-)  .
Personally I have one macro for that - I NEED YOUR CALL ONLY -
and do not give report for him.  Don't ask how is labeled this macro ;-) .
Only "medicine" is to teach a PSKers (sorry) to read more and promote  
a   good
RTTY contesting (bdw also DXing) practice not only in Don 's AA5AU homepage.
