I'm sure that this form for the R+dB message would help the "distant end" realize that his QSO partner has a compound call sign. > N0URE G4WJS RRR > DE TI4/N0URE 73 > N0URE G4WJS 73 (Also see below) > > with both ends having type 2 compound call signs: > > CQ TI4/N0URE EK70 > N0URE W9XYZ FN75 > W9XYZ N0URE +05 > DE W9XYZ/VE1 R+02 > W9XYZ N0URE RRR > DE W9XYZ/VE1 73 > DE TI4/N0URE 73 > > (snip) > > I would appreciate comments and testing please.

Too often, QSO partners get a big surprise if and when they pay attention to the "73" response. Other than that, most don't have a clue about the call sign. Hopefully, this "upgrade" to procedure will lessen the number of stray eQSL cards and other QSL/LotW requests that are directed to my call sign without the type 2 compound attributes. Have to reject them and ask them to resubmit directly to my compound call sign. Some do, some don't, some are happy, some are..... Now, if we can get those about to answer the CQ of a station with a type 2 compound call sign to just double-click on the call sign and let the software do the work, instead of trying to answer the CQ with a hashed up 13 character free message that won't load properly into the CQ caller's software upon double-click (requiring the CQ caller to either respond with a free message himself or use some ingenuity to work around the problem). > 73 > Bill > G4WJS. > Thanks, Bill Paul DU2/WA8UGN > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored > by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all > things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to > news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
