since I have a very weak signal (24w ERP from a 7' tall vertical) when I get ask for a repeat of my call I send it again at the original speed
but 90% of the time I end up having to repeat more than once and them may even have to reduce my speed to ~13wpm then I finally have my call copied perhaps what you are running into is someone who is tired of the 3-4 intermediate attempts at normal speeds and just cuts to the chase and reduces speed to get it done more quickly? -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan On 12/4/2011 7:41 PM, Steven Raas wrote: > Here is one thing > that REALLY irks me ( any contest definitely not TB specific ) I cq..
