I don't find anything "Liddish" about the 3x3 calling sequence when not working a pileup, working a string of stations on a particular frequency or contesting.
Indeed, what I find poor practice are those who try to answer my CQ with only their call sent once. I can't tell if they are calling me, if they were tuning up or if it's another QSO that emerged from the QSB. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- That was a standard call protocol in the coastal marine service. Listen to KSM on Sat afternoons [in NA] on 500, 4350.5, 6474.0, 8438.3, or 12993.0 KHz. Their "wheel" will run "V V V V V V V V V DE KSM KSM KSM [tfc list if any] QSX 500 4 6 8 12." They have a 16 MHz frequency too, can't remember it. I occasionally fall back into the protocol calling CQ when I'm activating a summit and my rate is agonizingly slow and I'm getting bored :-) 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org On 2/10/2011 10:27 PM, eric norris wrote: > The R4020 doesn't have message memories per se, but it will allow you to enter > your call.
