Tim, Everything the others have said is true. But it is a matter of perspective too.
Sometimes people click on a DX or desired station whenever they see it pop on their Band Activity screen. This station [the "clickee" :-) ] often appears without showing its grid square. Sometimes the "clicked" or DX station may be doing an FT8 exchange with another station. In my opinion, we do not want to click on a station ... DX or not while they are in QSO with another station. Besides being rude, that practice sometimes generates deliberate QRM on the freq and nobody makes a QSO then. I am sometimes a DX station when operating from Hawaii, and that practice not only slows the process down, but it also can bust a number of QSOs. Often, I will not respond to an FT8 station who breaks in like that, and I know other DX operators who share my thought. Having said that, it seems like some stations call after a final "73" concludes the previous FT8 contact. That is probably OK and the "responding" or "clickee" station's grid is sent unlike when a station simply QRMs and attempts to break in. 73, Danny W4/AH6FX On Tuesday, April 9, 2019, 3:02:37 PM EDT, Bill Barrett <w2pky...@gmail.com> wrote: Tim-They are simply trying to get the Q over a little faster.DXpeditions like callers to start with S.R. so their Q rate/hour is maximizedBill W2PKY On Tue, Apr 9, 2019 at 2:29 PM Timothy Hickman <timothyhick...@comcast.net> wrote: I have noticed lately that when I send CQ on FT8 A few stations respond with the signal report not their grid square. Is there something here I do not understand?
