>>>SNIP<<< They certainly can. "Over" means "turning it back to you for your reply". "Out" means "No further transmissions from me." In ham jargon it's "Back to you for your final and I'm clear."
Over and out. 73 de K2ASP >>>>SNIP<<<< I agree with K2ASP. This was standard net protocol during my tour with the Traveling Air Circus (Tactical Air Command..HI!) long, long ago. CW QRQ: Do a fair amount of contesting, almost all of it CW. I do not understand what motivates folk to send a contest CQ at 40+ WPM. This speed is well beyond my abillity and I suspect beyond the capabilities of most folks who do not have a decoder device so I move on to the next station. I've been assured by hard core contesters that this method is needed to keep the QSO rate up. Seems counter-intuitive to me. I have no trouble with those who use "variable speed" wherein their call and the changing bits of the contest exchange are sent at a slower speed. "Copy that" I seem to recall this bit of jargon caught on right after the release of the movie: "Apollo 13." 72, Tim ____________________________________________________________ Do THIS before eating carbs (every time) 1 EASY tip to increase fat-burning, lower blood sugar & decrease fat storage http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/536260637326d60636deest04duc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
