I have nothing against the friend file. It is a nice thing once in a while. It might get old if everyone did it and it does not seem very personal when I operate with the club callsign W4AAA. When I

In most contests you do not loose points if the other station incorrectly copies your callsign. Personally I do not like when someone holds the report hostage. On most modes sending your call twice b

Yes it's a good practice and even required in some CQ contests. For corrections I used a separate macro "{his callsign} QSL KK9A CQ" instead of "TU KK9A CQ". It works pretty smoothly unless the other

If you want your callsign corrected send it before the report not after! John KK9A The wise thing to do when in S&P is not to send your exchange until you're confident the runner has your call correc

I think this is a poor idea. If I do not immediately see my callsign I assume that the operator is not coming back to me and I move on to doing something else. John KK9A I just have a couple comments

You're absolutely correct Ken! I have also cancelled some CQs, but most timed out perfectly. Afterwards I thought it may be better to configure my station so that last TX command cancels the transmis

Often I am leery of asking for repeats, since the station is likely to send the whole exchange again and I still may not get what I am looking for. I really like Ed's idea of hitting the F-key multip

Hank, I think that your wisdom is falling on deaf ears. John KK9A The idea is not to necessarily shorten what you send. The idea is to 1. Make what you send "easy copy" for the other guy, and 2. Tail
