I agree.
What I don't understand is how people
don't understand that "UP" means transmit
up in freq. Yes, some forget to switch
Xmit freq & call on the DX who is saying
"UP 3". Got it... but when the "police"
send your call on the DX Xmit freq & then
tell you to transmit "UP" in the same
breath, how does the errant station miss
what's happening & they keep on calling on
top of the DX? They simply can't be
listening.
Arrrg... Going back to Lurk mode.
