[RTTY] Fwd: [GreenKeys] lack of civility

[Tom Osborne]

Was the station calling 'CQ WPX' or 'CQ contest'?  I'm sure they weren't 
just calling a general 'CQ'.

That should let you know that it is a contest going on.  Then Google 'WPX 
RTTY' and see what the rules are.

If someone is on CW and calls 'CQ TEST', and you answered them, and they ask 
for a serial number,  would you get torqued at them, too.  73
