Hello Dave,
I think I'll keep right on being polite, even if it might be a little
less efficient, and I think I'll keep right on thanking my QSO's with a
"TU".
It may sound a bit strange to say, but I feel quite good in being able
to thank someone for taking a moment to make a contest exchange with me.
I would much rather be given a "TU" after a contest contact than a
sharp "R", with the context of "OK, we've worked, now move along."
73,
Bob
