[RTTY] Really

[B. Smith]

Glenn,
You might be competing with another station on the same freq that YOU can't hear but he can -  the  station wants to make sure YOU answer him.Ensuring that the line of communication is well established might entail extreme brevity in some cases, or a lot of repeats in others....

Dont know how many times , when running  a pileup
in a contest, someone will send

VA3DX VA3DX DE     &%%%^&  &% %%%

If only they just send their call..... They are on my freq and timeing
is correct , I assume they are calling me...

I vote for NO Dashes

Bill's example is the way I answered a station that way he knows its me 
going back to him.

When answering a station calling CQ I did it two ways de N9WVM N9WVM and if 
the station has not answer me after two or three tries then I would send His 
call de N9WVM N9WVM and it seamed that I would get answered more by sending 
his call instead of just my call

Thats the way I have done it in the 2 or 3 RTTY contest I have worked in the 
last year. Someone on this email list told me to set it up that way

It is just some redundancy which can be useful when several stations
are calling at the same time. If everybody just sends TU 599 123 123
and they are all transmitting at once it might be hard to figure out
who you are actually working, especially if they are all sending
different serial numbers. :-)

Good work, Claude!
