[RTTY] Ionospheric Physics

[John Merrill]

There are usually a couple that don't send enough- no RST. I usually ask
them to send their RST and they seem confused. When they finally figure it
out, they send it multiple times. Must have ticked them off. I saw none of
this in this RTTYRU.

There's still very few that just send "599 LA LA " or whatever their state
or s/n is. That's all that is needed "most of the time".

Since I "think" most people already know I live in Louisiana, I can get away
with sending my "LA" only twice in my S&P message.
However, it may be overall more beneficial to send the STATE/PROVINCE or S/N
three likes like "[CR/LF]599 TX TX TX " (notice the space after the last TX
in the macro". 

In cases where you have ALREADY worked a station previously in the contest,
you can get away with sending the state/province or s/n information just
once like "[CR/LF]599 TX ". The problem is that you would have to look at
each contact to see if you worked the station previously in the contest,
then use a different macro to send the S&P exchange. I realize it's not that
hard to do this, but when running SO2R or SO3R, it would become very
tiresome to look at each call as you work them to see if you worked them
before, then use separate macros based on the outcome. That's what makes
"[CR/LF]599 TX TX " the best option "most of the time". But when conditions
are tough, you need to send it twice!

I was actually pleased at how little of that there seemed to be this year.
Made the few that use ornate macros stick out all the more.

Saw several ops repeat the so-called RST, too.  No idea what that's about.
Yes, it has to be there per the (non-BARTG) rules, but it hardly needs
repeating. :-D _______________________________________________
