[RTTY] B4

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

There seems to be a lot of new calls this weekend. Jot down the call 
sign where you got the QSO B4 and after the contest, forward a copy of 
your message to him. The fellow might just be starting out and doesn't 
know that QSO B4 was banned from the airwaves. It's an opportunity to 
Elmer someone just getting started.

I am seeing a lot of fellows also CQing but not putting a trailing CQ 
after their call sign. That's my favorite nit pick. When I tune across 
someone and I only get a call sign, I start reciting "wasted time, 
wasted time, wasted time..." until they finish calling CQ again.

But then if I was REAL serious about this contest, I wouldn't be on the 
internet writing emails either... "wasted time, wasted time, wasted time..."
