I'm moving this discussion to DX-CHAT. Even in the ARRL CW DX contest last weekend I heard a DX station sending "N2D? N2D??" and a W5 kept calling. W5 isn't even close to N2D in CW sound.
There is no excuse for it. I don't understand it, either, but then I don't do it. Maybe you'd have to ask someone who does it, but no one has come forth on this list or any other DX list I'm on to say "I do it and the reason is ..." Therefore I can assume that (a) No one on these DX lists does it; or (b) they know it's wrong but keep doing it anyway; hence, they are unwilling to admit it. One of these days I am going to just sit and make a list of all the stations I hear doing this, and try to hunt down e-mail addresses for them. Then I will send each an e-mail inquiring why they do it. The responses should be very telling. 73, Zack W9SZ On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 10:58 AM, Glenn Wyant <va...@sympatico.ca> wrote: >> Paul., > > I sat here listening the pileup , copc etc etc > One thing that struck me was the amount of people > who never stop calling. > The VK9 answered a VE2 at one point , I listened up in the pileup and > hundreds just started calling again. > If fact they did this no matter who the VK9 responded to ... > Did there code readers malfunction ? , perhaps they couldn't > copy him ( why then call ?? ) ... these where not isolated > incidents ..
