Topband: Outing The Scofflaws...

[John K9UWA]

Sometimes its accidental guys. Picture this example.
DX says: TU
Everybody calls. I drop in my call twice at 30 WPM. Hear nothing. Drop in 
call twice again. ... during that brief moment DX sends 7DX? and I don't hear 
him as I am still transmitting call twice. 
And again I hear nothing as DX is now listening for rest of the 7DX callsign. 
Maybe I am on top of that guy? I don't know that. I Still haven't heard the DX 
answer anyone so dump in the call twice more and listen.

And NO I can't run full break in with my remote operation. I miss that more 
than the 1/2 second latency problem.
