That sounds like it might have been me, except that on both days, I
wasn't on 40 until after 2200Z. I was pretty much following the current
instructions, that in-GA stations call 'CQ GQP', and out-of-GA stations
call 'CQ GA'. 'CQ GQP' *should* be a primary indicator that the caller
is in-GA. I did have a handful of people ask 'in GA?' before calling me.
Of course, I was running CW, on a straight key, which at my age is hard
on the keying arm. I *really* didn't want to make the CQ any longer.
