Why is it.you fellas with 3 and 4 letter contesting callsigns send them
twice? (or more)

I was on 80m Sat night and 40m Sunday night, with huge signals into EU (and
presumably vice versa) and

was running my 4-squares and legal limit, at 38-39wpm, bang, bang, bang,
QSO,. QSO, QSO,.  all was great with the world and the occasional UK 3
letter call or all those other 4-letter calls are sent twice, upsetting the
whole applecart.

 

I mean, doesn't that really negate the whole purpose of having a nice,
short, snappy callsign if you're going to send it twice?

 

You may as well have a 3x3 call if you're going to send it more than once.

 

Inquiring minds,.

 

Mike VE9AA...wishing he had a 3 or 4 letter call.
