[RTTY] KH6ZM?

[K3RWN]

I saw the same thing.  KH6ZM was very loud when I worked him but had to ask
for 3 or 4 times for his call until it finally printed with the ZM

  I did too. I stopped and keyboarded him to tell him that because I 
asked him for his call about 5 times before he sent it manually.
I was S&P at the time and moved on after that so I don't know if he 
fixed it.
