The convention is to send BOTH call signs until both have been "rogered" (careful, "rogered" can mean something else in the UK ;) and then the RO RRR and 73 are sent WITHOUT a callsign. The potential problem is that the contact can accidentally be considered a "good" one but the RRR came from someone working another station. It's confusing but one thing that will help is to look at the DF. If you got a response, with yours/his callsigns, and the DF was -55 and then got a simple "RO" with a DF of +150, chances are that you get a false RO, an RO from the wrong station.
Sounds like I know a lot doesn't it....I just learned this today though :>) Andy ok I need help. why is it that I can see the messages, and message numbers, time sent etc etc but I can't see any callsigns? Can copy RO and 73 etc etc at -29db on the waterfall and understand how those tones work. other people have been seeing me yet i can't copy a callsign.................. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
