[RTTY] CQ or QRZ

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi everyone,
 
This brings up an interesting semantic point, but I think everyone knows  
what's going on.  Even so, I may change my running QRZ to CQ to save a  
character.
 
I enjoyed this contest a lot.  The 24 hour max is humane (I split it  into 
two 12 hour segments with a six hour sleep break ) and had a few 10M  QSOs.  
No VT, however, which is one of my main complaints about the  universe.  Is 
VT a mythical land?  Like Atlantis or  Shangri-La?

Hello  Group.

Still wondering why guys use QRZ when they want to say  CQ

QRZ = Who is calling me
CQ   = General call

If I  hear someone sending QRZ, I will wait because he may heard
someone calling  him?   but if he send CQ I will reply.
