[UK-CONTEST] Beru - outside callers.

[Thomas Cannon]

Hi Brian,

Yes, you are right, I never looked at it that way.

I stand corrected.

I am not sure about using the club call out of the UK. The person who used
the call in 5B left the club many years ago.

I think I would have sent a 599 and put them in the log.

Can't agree at all Tom, although Alan will no doubt respond for himself, and
perhaps others too.

If and when you get on the 'sharp end' with even a semi-rare call you will
be surprised just how many are listening at any given time, answer an
outsider and you open the floodgates, and from 1/2/3 who call you and then
it escalates as others come along, hear you working those first callers and
join the fray.

I didn't have too much trouble, when called by an outsider I sent a polite
'pse beru only' followed by my c/s + beru. only a couple of times did the
callers from the same south east eu country persist. Like Bob i did respond
to a few JA callers on 80m, which then brought other callers in. My answer
in both the above cases was to move.

However you obviously never listened to either 9J2BO or 6Y8XF et al other
real dx stn's, some of the treatment they get is diabolical and really slows
them down.

A question (for anybody)
>> M0AAA Reading club call

Several years ago somebody showed up here to operate cqww cw using the c/s
5B/M0AAA
was this legal to use a club call outside the UK?

All the best, Brian C4Z (5B4AIZ/G4ODV)
