That's the one that I adore... BECAUSE: if I don't have him in the log... there 
is a large possiblity that he isn't in any WY log... AND that would then 
penalize him for a mult, and a Q.. and possibly to many nils too. Gee.. that 
would be a rather heavy cost for spending such an inordinate amount of time 
that it would take to make sure that I have him in MY log.. correctly!  Another 
one is those stations that like to save their valuable time by shifting speed 
in the middle of an exchange.. under poor copy.. that is a guarantee for a 
missed Q.. especially when going back to insure correctness, I get slapped with 
a QB4 sri.  I know, I know.. he is in the zone.. unfortunately.. not in my 
zone/log.  And when I speed up to match his speed he can't copy... gee now 
there is a real quandry.Do I slow down for his "copy" speed... half of what he 
is sending.. or do I resend the exchange at the same too fast for him to copy 
speed, even thohe continues to ask for fills at too fast a rate 
 for him to copy... OR.. do I go faster... just to insure I match his sending 
speed... because that is what courteous ops do.. match the sending speed.  OH.. 
decisions.. decisions... what is a fellow to do?

Have a great day,
