[UK-CONTEST] VHF exchanges

[Ivan Davies]

I have been doing VHF/UHF contests since the crystal controlled," tuning both ends out" days. Now the sequence (running) is  :-
"CQ CQ contest.....G3IZD portable contest"
" G8XYZ"
" G8XYZ g'day five nine , one zero two,india oscar eight four kilo delta QSL"
" G3IZD roger five nine zero one two , juliet oscar zero zero foxtrot delta QSL"
" Roger seven three G3IZD portable contest"
This surely is the normal minimum for most contests, HF also and would seem to accord totally with the rules. As ever the less experienced will usually repeat both callsigns but this is often quite sensible anyway.
