Very good idea, I will absolutely do that in the future. >(It goes without saying that once they do have your > callsign, don't send it again.) The flip side of that, of course, is that I'm ever on a DXPedition and a guy is sending his call 10 times back at me , I'll assume that whatever I sent him is wrong ;-) But yeah, I've learned the hard way that most *DO* assume that, and sending your call again if they have it right is a trigger for them to change what they wrote down. Of course, I guess there's a chance N3MX was actually in there... he certainly had other band modes, but given the long drawn out attempt it doesn't seem likely. I do end up in a lot of pileups on 160 with K3OX and he usually beats me ;-) 73, Dan Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
