REPLY:
John, you don't seem to get what I was saying. I agree completely
about accurately copying what the other guy sent and improving one's
contesting skills. No argument there.
But why does the exchange itself have to be so non-interesting? Who
cares what UTC time the other guy's computer is set to? We all have
our own clocks, don't we? I KNOW what time it is.
So why not send something which requires skill just like copying UTC
but which also adds something interesting? Even sending the local
time would be of mild interest, wouldn't it? Same skill, a bit more
interest to see what time it is in Indonesia or Japan or Kenya, don't
you think?
Just trying to liven it up a bit.
