Can't figure it out. - His fist (OK, his computer's fist :) ) is good. - His signal is strong but perfectly clean. - He's not trying to run anyone off their run frequency. - He seems to copy the call
I'd go several steps further, Doug. Personally, I believe the Contest Committee should mandate that every station be required to give his call after every QSO. Today, I figure I totalled 30 minutes (
