I copied your call numerous times as PV9Y and I've been copying code for over
50 years - guess I wasn't
the only one who didn't "hear it right". I didn't call you because I was
looking for mults and didn't need
PY which is where I thought you were. I think some need to listen to what
they're sending and maybe
slow those keyers down just a bit it's not necessary to call CQ and send your
call at 50 or so WPM.
Maybe it will cut down on those false spots and 160 dupes.
I can copy at least 50 - 60 WPM or more so don't tell me that I can't do the
code.

You think you had problems? I was spotted, I think, 7 times as P40Y and
twice as PV9Y. I ended up logging 160 dupes, though sometimes I was so
angry that I put on my QSO B4 message instead. It's very frustrating,
particularly when you send your call after virtually every contact. And it
does impact my score, not to mention all those who will get Not in Log
deductions.
