[UK-CONTEST] 144MHz UKAC Contest

[John Lemay]

I might as well don my hard hat, and then suggest that some of this issue is
related to what is between the headphones ..........

However, turning the argument around, I'd be the first to admit that I do
not have a "communications voice", and "zulu tango radio" is often misheard
as "zulu echo radio" (although the permutations of misunderstanding seem to
be endless). Sometimes I resort to the key to clear things up. As you can
guess, this is not successful with everyone.

Regards

John G4ZTR

It's not just the fixed stations who display these symptoms. I worked a
station on Tuesday who first had my callsign of G0PKT correct and then for
some reason changed it to G4 and despite me calling him back repeatedly for
five minutes after to get the correction across, he clearly couldn't hear
me. I tried again half an hour later but had no response. 

He was a solid 59 and was /P *sigh*
