any longer following a stroke or other ailment.

When you talk about radio operating procedures in past years where traffic
nets abounded and circuit discipline was entirely different you are in
another generation. When WWII evolved thousands of amateur radio operators
enlisted and were quickly
There are two distinct systems involved here.
The Q signals have always been as listed; some operators twisted their
meanings just like slang; this still continues. In past years the military
and commercial high speed operations used Z signals in their procedure; no Q
signals.

Mike and all...human nature will prevail in amateur radio as it does in the
population as a whole.
The bad actors on the air are the same guys that were the schoolyard bullies'
those who sneak into lines ahead of you and those who cut you off in traffic.

regarding my old venerable Triton IV which had served me so well through the
years and was pleased to find out that they do indeed have replacement parts
and continue to service that model after 30 years or more.

The detention center is a new addition to the Guantanamo basecreated for
the Gulf War detainees.
The main base at Gtmo has a mission of its own..a Navy squadron, Marines

Even if they tore down the detention center it would not affect the original

I notice that there are very few of the DX station operators contributing to
this thread.

CW will still be the mode of choice for many of our radio amateurs

Dont know how it is set up these
days. Previously the FCC gave blocks of calls to the deployed
militaryremember the KA calls in Japan in the 50's?
The call assignments were usually made by
the communications officer who was supposed to verify that the applicant was a
duly licensed
Many times through the years when a DX
station has asked for "up" several times and is ignored they have immediately
gone QRT.look forward to this in the future also.

In times past CW operators automatically reduced their speed to that of the

As you recommend.there is nothing wrong with asking the other station to
