I agree but with a twist. I have it
xxxxx TU K2DSL CQ
That way there should be no confusion on who was logged and if you tune the
dial on TU and what was sent TU W6WRT K2DSL CQ, you just got yourself a NIL.
I also send the S&P'ers call at the front end of the exchange since it is
extremely valuable when other S&Pers are covering up the start of the
exchange. I tune away when I see my call and TU.
CQ RU K2DSL K2DSL CQ
N6HE 599 NJ NJ N6HE
N6HE TU K2DSL CQ
I would also appreciate the S&P op sending my call in the exchange vs this
minimal:
TU 599 TX TX
The mistakes would normally hurt them, not me, but that's how I work it. I'm
sure this can be debated ad infinitum.
