[Elecraft] Question re: callsign prefixes

[Julian (G4ILO)]

There was one guy that no matter how log I listened, neither I nor MixW 
could decode his callsign. I need to write a bit of software that will 
record this machine-gun fire and then play it back slowed down. Although 
MixW will already do the recording.

There were a few stations that had programmed their keyers to crank up 
the speed when sending the exchange so that it just sounded like a noise 
burst. Presumably they figure that the other guy knows the report will 
be 599 and their logger will give them the zone number. Which begs the 
question, why bother with the exchange at all?

73,

Here's how I often unscramble these burst transmissions 
Make a note of the time and frequency of the station.  Then
go to the DX Summit web sight where spots are posted. [snip]
