[CW] calling with only one call sign....

Richard:

Your not alone.

I get it all the time here, principally it seems from Eastern Europe, and I 
just do not reply.  Some get the message, others don't but that is life I 
guess.  This disease seems to be of fairly recent origin, I don't remember 
it 5 or 10 years ago but maybe it was less prevalent then.  I have a sense 
that this is a byproduct disease of the Dxpeditionitus.

Frankly, I have been avoiding working most European stations that I do not 
know, I am just not interested in any more "599 tnx 73" QSO's.  Even the 
most basic and simple question is most often ignored, such as "rig?"  or 
"ant ?".  There is just no way to have a conversation and that level of QSO 
is of no interest to me Hi.  I find this especially bad when I am running 
the amplifier at maximum smoke and on 15 and 10 meters.

Heard you on 40 the other day but in the time to get the remote rig up you 
moved on.....

73
