I really dislike SO2R or SO4R or .... because of the empty CQs with no op
present to answer your call to them.
Hey out there, I know you can hear me and know you are not listening to
your run freq. So you expect me to wait around until you get back to
ur Run Radio??? Nope, not me.
Some SO#R CQs are so close together that my call sign, sent once, is longer
than your pauses.
I bet there are SO5R out there somewhere. And I bet there are
automated empty CQs holding a freq while the op eats lunch. The Old Man
called this Rotten Radio, 73
