I started out a few years ago and followed protocol precisely as Joe K1JT outlines in his user info files, and like you use. I achieve rates of "acceptance/non-issue" of about 90%-93%. Those rates dropped off over time, with more hams coming on the air, particularly using some versions of JT65-HF that don't handle compound call signs very well. After it got to the point where every attempt to answer a CQ would require two calls DE DU2/WA8UGN PK08 as first go, then XXXXXX WA8UGN PK08 the second time around before I'd establish QSO (and receive reports better than a -15, telling me that they heard me - also displayed on HamSpots.com). I'm beginning to believe that the only way to satisfy everyone is for the character set of messages be increased by 8 characters, so that I can call you using TI4/N0URE DU2/WA8UGN PK08 ;) > John > TI4/N0URE > Best 73 from the Philippines, 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.
