My bet is that many of these people were convinced by a bad packet
spot that I was W1UE, even thought I sent my call EVERY time.  See the
bunch from 1912z - 1959?   That had to be a bad spot.

So, people, you have to copy the on-the-air CW!   And, despite the
controversy, you have to send your call often.


73, Gerry W1VE -- see ya in ARRL DX CW next weekend.
