Talking about US calls, can you people explain this to me, it?s
been puzzling me for years.
There is a K6 guy operating from KH6, he doesn?t sign /KH6
or KH6/ just his K6 and two letter suffix. I have asked him on
the air and he says it?s perfectly right. How can it be?? Does
not seem to follow international regulations which also are signed
by the USA.
This will also be a problem I guess for AD1C and his country files.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Split Frequency in Contests?
Message-ID: <003001c29918$b1675800$c99901d4@jim>
I think for the first time last weekend I heard contest stations working
split. They were not exactly exotic or rare prefixes so why the split
operation? Others like XT2DX and HC8N had huge pile-ups but always managed
to skilfully work their way through.
Is this to do with the calibre of the operator or a ploy to spread out the
callers and have an operator work the stations and another 'tee' up the next
QSO? Muscle substituting for skill?
Whatever the reason, many times over the weekend I heard chunks of the band
rendered useless by this practice and felt sorry for the stations who had
been running on the previously clear frequency and then being drowned under
a sea of callsigns. I would rather take my 'little
pistols' chances in the pile-up and if it's too busy try again later.
That's what makes it fun!
