Comments:
I decided to add the /6 to N7CW for a couple of reasons:
1) I was very disappointed by the number of people who copied my call as N6CW
in the CQWW test last year (having a call similar to a world-famous contestor
and DXer, and living in the same city, section, zone has some disadvantages)
and I thought maybe the /6 would emphasize the 7.
2) I am always surprised by the number of repeat requests for the section
and I
thought the /6 would make people aware that a California section was to
follow.
Wrong on both counts! If I had a dollar for everyone who came back to N6CW/6,
I'd be upgrading some antennas. And the number of repeat requests for SDG was
as high as ever. Is SDG that hard to copy?
Next year, its back to N7CW. The time I save by not sending /6 will allow me
to push F1 a few more times......
73, Bud
