[DX] RE: [dx-list] last 2 and CW

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 02:00:16 -0600

MOST  Contesters and knowledgable DX stations 
HATE the "Last 2" practice.  

It requires an extra exchance for EVERY such QSO 
and requires some additional manipulating to get back 
to the starting point when using computer logging.

It's no wonder that 9K2ZZ (and others) don't log
such incomplete calls.  BRAVO !
