I like seeing HI DON because sometimes if copy is marginal and I do see my call
clearly (when I'm S&P), when I see HI DON then I know the report is for me. I
support using the HI file even though I don't use it. Many times I see AA5AQ,
AA9AU, and all kinds of variations where a bit gets missed and seeing DON
confirms it's probably me!
I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. I'm not always out to win,
break records, etc. I am just thankful that I am able to paricipate in
contests
and am in it mainly for the fun. I don't care what people send me in the
exchange just as long as they call me. Although I had one station send me
three
lines and I wondered why. But it was OK. He DID make it in the log!

REPLY:
Don once stated he does NOT like receiving "HI DON" during a contest. I
used to use the friend.ini file but gave it up after reading his
comment.
