Guys,
Thank You for sharing your war stories like the one below. I had a good
laugh with a couple of them today! Many say laughter is good for our
health, if so, I need lots of laughs!
When I'm running stations during RTTY contests, there are more and people
calling in who give me their exchange information first and then send their
Callsign once at the end. Today, I had a guy call in with his exchange
information and never send his callsign even once. Perhaps it's some of
these pour souls whom we call while they're CQ'ing and they give us the very
unfriendly "dupe" message?
I love contesting, but there sure are things that get frustrating from
time to time. The most aggravating for me is when I'm running stations and
having a great time, and a loud signal starts calling CQ on the same
frequency. So if I have ever done that to you, I'd like to l apologize. And
if I
haven't done it yet, I'd like to apologize in advance, because as I age I
find myself doing some amazing things!
Happy Contesting!

The today's propagation makes every single QSO unique and memorable.
Having
just a handful of QSOs I was pleased to hear the first signal from South
America in BARTG and called the guy. The response was amazing,
MY BROTHER VLADIMIR, SORRY OM, QSO B4.
Ok, I have lost the SA QSO but it made my day.
