Hi guys, I would like to comment on this since I'm one of the 'short' S&P exchange macro. I started using the 'no callsign exchange' a couple of montyhs back but still feel uncomfortable at times. Th

I have also noticed that several operators were in too big of a hurry. As a consequence, they need to be aware that they are missing out on confirmed QSOs. Crowded and/or degraded band conditions, as

I did not have the short report problem. Mine was the long reports which was OK but several gave me 599 or 5nn indicating that they did not read the rules before the contest. It is not a complaint. I

Hi Marty Have to agree with yo on this one. I don't know how many times I've called a station and got LFK454JJL5KJ 599 03. I had no idea who he was working. If 'W7WHY' was on the end, I'd know. Of co

Interesting thread but I have to disagree. There's absolutely nothing wrong with sending only the serial number in the BARTG RTTY Sprint when S&P AND you see your callsign correctly when the run stat

Good points have been made on both sides of this thread, but what is missing for me is the reality that each QSO is a unique situation. There is not "correct" way of handling every contact. "It depen

Your capability to push out a strong signal should be a factor in this discussion... If you are in S&P, using a G5RV at 20' and 100W on 80m, then it will probably pay strong returns to use a longer r

Bingo! I'm running 100W into an attic loop and only do S&P which causes me to use what is probably an overly long report macro. I have a 2xCALL and 3xCALL macro for calling and my main report macro i

Don has it right with his comments about the Sprint being a pure rate contest, which is the reason for the number only exchange. What you send has to depend on the balance between getting the data ac
