[RTTY] SO2R in WPX RTTY

[Phil Cooper]

Hi all,

Just an observation, rather than any sort of criticism, but I note that
quite a few SO2R op's were VERY slow in responding to calls and exchanges
during this WPX. And by slow, I mean in the order of 10 seconds or more!

Whilst I am not necessarily in favour of SO2R (as part of the single op
class), I understand why you want to do it, and good luck to you.
BUT, I really think you should be a little quicker on the replies, and maybe
consider those of us on the other end.

Having said that, there were a few SO2R ops that were amazing, and responded
very quickly, so it can be done.

Obviously, if it is your run frequency, you have the control, but I don't
particularly like waiting too long for that TU QRZ while you work a mult on
another frequency.
When I was CQ'ing, I had some callers that were obviously busy elsewhere,
and it really did screw up MY run on occasions when I replied to you, but
you were busy on your run frequency. One several occasions, I sent again,
only to hear the end of your message to me. That meant other callers tried
to get in, figuring I wasn't going to work you, so they called over you.

Did anyone else notice the delay in responses?

As I said, these thoughts are just an observation, and not a criticism!
