I noticed less on Sunday but I was also on less on Sunday. I can't recall
if the KH (guessing KH6ZM) was a station I saw it on. Maybe I can look at
my MMTTY log file when I'm home. Thinking about it, it did seem to be the
earlier part of the contest period so maybe folks got things straightened
out.
As for my other pet peeves, one is leaving out a leading/trailing space
already mentioned and the other is a CQ station not ending with CQ/QRZ/RU
or some indication I should send my call. It causes me to wait to find out
of "... AB1CD AB1CD" is AB1CD calling CQ or ABC1CD is sending his call to
someone calling CQ. So I wait and find out. If he's calling CQ, I might
need to wait more if multiple stations now send their call. Please end your
CQ and TU macros with CQ/QRZ/RU (or appropriate for the contest). It makes
a S&P'ers life more better.
