[RTTY] Simple thing that seemed to improve my S&Ping

[Ed Muns]

Actually, you should always send a callsign correction.  Some of the CQ
contests are requiring this now in the rules, in reaction to some entrants
who clean their log post-contest by using outside databases or other
information not coming from the other station during the QSO.

So, even if the call is correct in your log, you need to transmit it at
least once as a confirmation of a valid QSO.

In practice, there is no back and forth.  Before you send your final TU/CQ
message, simply tap your 'His Call' message key if you don't have his call
already programmed into that QSL message.

Jim... Just because the logging software sent it wrong, doesn't mean that I
haven't corrected it in my log.

And I haven't wasted time sending corrections back and forth.

Jim,

But if you haven't corrected it in your log, and you do have my call wrong,
then you lose credit for that contact. By sending the correction, I am
trying to help you, not me.
