Eddie, G0AZT, was famous for constantly screaming at the radio during RTTY
contests... He was constantly complaining, saying things
like "Don't make a meal out of it mate!" when someone would send long buffers
during contests. Another one of his famous rants was
"I already know my own bloody callsign. Why are you sending it????" Whenever
someone starts sending me their rig, grid, etc, during
a contest I think of Eddie and say to myself "Don't make a meal out of it
mate!".
I miss that guy.

Subject: Re: [RTTY] Removing line feed at end of contest messages
I was on a DXpedition where one of the CW ops ALWAYS talked, very loudly, to
the people he was having a QSO with. He was louder
than the phone ops, by quite a bit. We had 4 or 5 stations in one small room.
