> If I send "CQ...CQ...K9JWV...K9JWV...K - and someone arrives on frequency ... Which gives me an opening to air a pet peeve. NEVER when contesting (or DXing) send a "K" after your call sign! Maybe not so bad for a 1x3 or 2x3 (though still possibly confusing with QSB) but it can be deadly with a 1x2 or 2x1 call. 73 -- Carl WS7L
