Hi Steve,
Thanks for the QSO last weekend, as ever, glad to see you're still
there!
I notice something above that seems pretty common practice (judging
from what I heard last weekend too) and also other advice I read and
this is the sending of the report (and callsign) only twice.
I prefer to send (and receive) it three times. The reason for this is
if I get a report (or callsign) only twice and one is corrupted, how do
I know which is correct? But if there are three and one is corrupted
then I have two versions to arbitrate on and don't need to ask for a
repeat.
I know that the argument is that the exchange therefore takes
(slightly) longer, but I believe what I save in asking for (or being
asked for) repeats makes up for that.
Maybe my thinking here is influenced by being a smaller station (100w
and wire aerials) so I know I'm generally going to be a weaker signal.
Thoughts?
