Well, I sure heard a few interesting exchanges. All stations ID's have
been changed to
protect the innocent. One poor DX station tripped his VOX and let out a
"sh**" after
realizing he screwed up a call and then had a dupe.
I heard another DX station running stations in an interesting manner.
Example:
DX: QRZ? DE DX6DX contest
*stations calling*
DX: W1ABC 59 KW
W1ABC: Thanks,
Break-in: Foxtrot London
Break #2: Hotel Victor
W1ABC: 59 Connecticut
DX: Connecticut, thanks. Fox London, 59 KW
*exchange*
DX: Hotel Victor, 59 KW
*exchange*
DX: QRZ? DE DX6DX
And it repeats. I even had a clear shot on a QRZ and got nothing...then
I tried an
experiment...I may get flamed for this. I did a semi-tail end "Golf
Whiskey". I promply
got a "Thanks, now GW, the 7GW station, 59 KW". I didn't send the 7
part during the
tailend.
That was interesting. I heard another very good example, where a DX
station made all 2-
letter callers repeat the full call, and he wouldn't give an exchange
until getting the full
call. He also ID'd every Q, and was getting an easy rate of 300/hr.
There were good and bad exchanges...and I'm not going to list any more,
as I've probably
already tried the patience of many.
Flames, comments, whatever, will be considered, although I might not
agree.
