[CW] Etiquette(SP!) question...

[Gene Buckle]

I was calling CQ on 14.040 tonight and I heard a reply so faint, the only
reason I knew the person was calling me was the pattern of AFE in my call.
Even straining with the volume all the way up, I could hear him so poorly,
I could only make out bits and peices of letter elements.

I feel bad that I didn't try to return to him, but I didn't feel that I
could copy enough of his faint transmission to make a solid contact.

Should I have let him know by sending SRI QRN CNT CPY or something
similar or was I correct in just not responding?

tnx.
