Lot of good time doing the contest. 10, 40 and 80 meters were dead most of
the time and I had some signals but too low to make anything out of them
plus my antenna is too short for the 80 and 40 meter.
By the way a lot of you guys are ?complaining? about a bad habbit in the
contests. I have seen in too, too many times but this will always happen, I
don?t know why.
In RCKRtty and other programs I have used, the decoder in them needs the
?DE? in front of the callsign to work.
When I have a reply to my CQ I see a callsign on a new line but no DE so I
have to get a double click on the callsign. It slows me down a lot more than
extra word or letter in the exchange. Friends please use the ?DE? in front
of your callsign
I saw a comma used after a callsign ? tf3rb, ? that gave me a problem
too. Don?t use that comma please.
Exchange like 599 55 55 is very good but 599-55-55 is bad for my program
because it detects the next number which is in many cases a 73.
I like to see the hams do a qsl or a cfm on my exchange. Then I know he got
it correct.
So 73 73 to you all <CR>
DE TF3RB
By the way how was I doing giving my exchange to you guys
