Hi Alex:
How can the running station hit enter prematurely when you send
(picking on CQWW)
ve3nea 5nn 5 ?
If you send
5nn 5 ve3nea
lots of stations (even most) will miss the correction. I vote for
accuracy too, but once you send the exchange, you're done!
The trainer, in "LID" mode, may do this wrong occassionally...I
haven't played with it yet.
Is this the case you are talking about? If not, what is the sequence?
If you send "ve3nea 5nn 5" and the running station busts your
call, that's his problem (in most contests). Most will acknowledge
the correction.
This is the argument for sending ANYTHING you want the running station
to hear BEFORE you send the exchange. :-)
