I agree. What I don't understand is how people don't understand that "UP" means transmit up in freq. Yes, some forget to switch Xmit freq & call on the DX who is saying "UP 3". Got it... but when the "police" send your call on the DX Xmit freq & then tell you to transmit "UP" in the same breath, how does the errant station miss what's happening & they keep on calling on top of the DX? They simply can't be listening.
