As a guy with no lap top in the shack---hence, no immediate access to on-line
chat rooms, spotting sites, etc.---what I hate most are those DX-Peditions that
repeatedly work stations without ID'ing, or ID'ing only after some two dozen,
or more, QSOs...
Meanwhile, the proverbial "...hunt & peck" type sits there cursing under his breath,
"WHAT'S YOUR CALL SIGN...?!"
Amen to that! Many's the time I've listened to a (CW) pileup where
20-30 stations have been worked with never a hint of the DX's callsign -
or the callsign sent once at 80wpm (I'm not that good!).
It's galling, to say the least.
I suppose I could repair the old laptop and install it in the shack.
Come to that, I could work the chap on the internet...
