[RTTY] Exchanges

[Tom Osborne]

These are probably newbie operators that don't know better.

What is better, blow them off, or explain to them the correct method of 
operating.

Someone mentioned on the reflector before to keep a list of offending 
stations, and after the contest, send them an email *polite* and expain that 
what they were doing was not the norm.

Next time they will probably be more apt to give you contact then if you 
just ignore them and hope they go away.  73

REPLY:

I hope not. The calling station should never send his exchange until he 
knows
the CQ station has his call right. If the CQ station has it wrong and logs 
his
exchange, sends the TU message and goes on to another QSO, it becomes VERY
difficult to straighten it out.

If the CQ station has the call wrong, the S&P station should just keep 
sending
his call ONLY until the CQ station has it right.
