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

Wed, 21 May 2003 10:41:45 -0400

Gene,
I guess it is all how one individual treats this as opposed to others but I
think after a couple of tries on your part, a simple "SRI SRI OM NO NO COPY
73" would suffice.  It accomplishes two things, it would let him know at
least he was being heard to some degree and bring a formal closure for you
to that QSO attempt.  I don't think you need go any further than that.  I am
a QRP'er and while it is a thrill to make a long haul QSO with QRP, it is
not devastating when someone cannot hear me well enough to have a QSO.  And
like one gentleman pointed out, certainly a lot of credit must go to the
"ears" that hears my QRP.  WElcome to the fun, satisfaction and frustration
of ham radio.
Tony, W4FOA

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I wasn't wearing a headset fortunately.  At the volume I had to be at to
pick out the CW tone, the wife was complaining and she was downstairs. :)

It may not have been a QRPer at all, he may have just been _really_ far
away. :)
