Guess it is always good to ...
1: get sweep
2: have fun
not necessarily in that order,try as I might there was nary a kp4 to be
found, stumbled across one on 15 just as he apparently had given up in
"tangling with the pileup".... I think I maybe able to relate to the
feeling...
Piss and Moan section..
1: "overprocessed audio' taking up loads of bandwith unnecessarily...
2: in the middle of a pile up.... here I am working stns as fast as I
possiby can using the prescribed sweeps format which means I do give my
call in every exchange and end every qso with Tks and then say
" VO1MP Sweeps" .. YET quite a few brain surgeons who are usually 30 over
come on with ..ur call ...ur call ... whats ur call.. I mean like I wasn't
gonna give it twice every qso anyway DUH !!
3: and then of course there is the ubiquitous " I Just know that I am the
station you called Anyway and I really dont care who you just acknowledged.. I
mean gimme a break.. eg .. as an example only ... how does wb2XXX
Whiskey Bravo 2 sound like aa6 xxx alpha alpha six ... either my audio is bad
or your ears are worse !!
another DUH !! Man I am doing the best I can with what I got.. a while ago
one of the rocket scientists on here suggested that if a rare section has
trouble with the pile up... split is the answer ... yeah like the stations
werent wall to wall and the was lots of space to work split .. another gimme a
break !!
I guess I really had mellowed a bit and forgotten why I had more or less
abandonned sweepstakes, I needed the shock value reminder once again, but
then again there is the good and the bad.. and you still have to separate
the wheat from the chaff.... but the 10 percent or so of lids sure make it
tough for the other guys.
OH well I guess I AM getting crotchety .. there now all that's off my
chest...
