"I'm sorry, Doctor.  I just can't take it any longer.  You're going to have
to help me."

"What seems to be the problem?"

"I've been listening all weekend to people saying, 'Please copy', followed
by some other numbers and letters.  If it happens one more time, I'll
crack."

"And you'd do what, exactly?"

"I'd say.  'No!'   Just to see what reaction I'd get.

"Do you think that would change anything?"

"No.  But I'd feel better."

"I see.  Please copy: Take two aspirin and call me in the morning."

"No!"

Many times operators that tried to tell ME what MY class and section was,
instead of reporting their own.  They would say something like, "UR 3A CO"
or "You're 1B in Kansas" when I was clearly 2A in Western Washington!  Could
I have been wrong?

Confused Field Day Operator
