> I don't mind awfully much when someone uses QRM or QRN on > phone Since we're griping and slightly off topic, here's one I ran into over the weekend:
A lot of people send R (for "received") as "dit, dah dit, dit, dah dit" -- with a gap after the first dit. In the VHF QSO contest, when I'm expecting you to send a grid location that could start with "EN", your "R" sounds like the beginning of your location and it's quite confusing. Especially when we're bouncing 2M CW signals off the aurora and I've got a 1.5KW 6M station in the next room shutting down my receiver every time they key the transmitter. :-) What a lot of fun, though. I hadn't worked any VHF other than 2M FM. I couldn't figure out how we were going to work anyone outside our own grid on 2M. Kinda makes me think about adding the 2M transverter to my add-on shopping list for my K2. :-) Craig NZ0R K1 #1966 K2 #4941 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
