Yes, if there is some doubt about my order at the McDonalds drive through window, I typically retransmit *my* information, not their information. Retransmitting the call of the DX station is like re
I believe that eliminating the inequity inherent in the scoring for African stations is an excellent idea, however we should preserve the scoring advantage for South American stations. --Trey, HC8N -
Yeah, well, here we go again. :-) Rather than trying to think of something new to say, I'll just repost what I wrote last time this thread came up. I've pasted it onto the bottom of this message. Jos
But you only have to make enough noise to get the guy to stop CQing. For instance, when calling CQ I wouldn't continue CQing upon hearing "Zulu Sierra Four." Sorry, I didn't hear the whole call by t
