[RTTY] One Pet Peeve

[Dave Barr]

There are several things that ops who are asked for repeats can do to 
speed the contact.  Most involve having enough macros to address 
specific requests.  I always have a macro for each part of the exchange, 
such as my name, my age, my zone, my serial number, and even 599 (cause 
yes I have had requests for repeats on RST) so I can send just the 
requested part of the exchange.

The repeat requester can help also.  One will note that most of the 
exchange parts I mention above involve numbers, thus a repeat request 
for "number" or "nr" can be ambiguous in some contests. The requester 
should be specific, i.e. "agn serial" or "zone?" or "rpt time" if he'll 
get really bothered by getting the whole exchange again.

73 to all and good luck in the NAQP,
