[RTTY] One Pet Peeve

[Rich]

Frankly we have no control over what people send.   Maybe they sent VA 
twice and you only received one of them.   Asking for a repeat would be 
no worse than the folks who respond with your call twice, their call 
twice and the exchange three times.

Here is how I look at it.   Please call me I need every contact I can 
get.  I pay little attention to the format of their response, as I have 
no control over it.

Also it is not unusual for folks to shorten their exchange later in the 
contest when they have worked hundreds or thousands of stations and they 
figure most folks have their info from other bands.

If they had sent it twice then more than likely I would have copied enough of it that a repeat is unnecessary. I would ask all to send their info twice, so repeats are less likely. Doesn't that make sense? If not, tell me why not. That's my 2 cents worth.
