I quit complaining about this several years ago when: I worked a station on
1296MHz a few hundred miles out for a new grid. I even received a QSL card
from him a few days later. However, when the results came out; I was NIL
as the op didn't log the QSO when he sent in the logs. The QSL
confirmation made no difference. THEN, I was NIL when I worked a limited
rover who worked me on 1296MHz but their logging submission wouldn't let
them submit that QSO.
On HF, I just wish many cw ops would just SLOW DOWN. Sending 35+wpm just
makes for more copying errors. Besides, on Sunday afternoon, these same
ops are sending CQ TEST ad nauseum. Why not just send around 25 wpm and
spread out your contacts? I would really like to be able to copy cw
faster, however, I have other things to do than sit in front of the radio
for hours on end.
At least on VHF/UHF all cw ops have the sense to slow down to match another
station's speed or when the going gets tough. WA3EOQ
