In SSB contests, we would have to learn the "10 code" to go along with
Q signals. Make "you're wall to wall and tree top tall" part of the
exchange instead of the tired old "59." Now that would get the
newbies involved. 73

I don't think you do as many ssb contest as I do. Over the last couple of
years, I have gotten quite a few 10-4 responses from newbies when giving my
exchange on 20 meters.
If things are going slow, I'll gently remind them that we use QSL or Roger
instead of 10-4. If things are really ripping I just let it go....like when
your boss says "irregardless" for regardless.
It used to be ham training took place on the Novice sub-bands. Now it takes
place on prime real estate parts of the bands.
