[Elecraft] Question re: callsign prefixes

Tue Dec 2 09:01:01 2003

I ran across a few guys who were pumping out their calls every 2 or 3 
seconds without pause...like some sort of beacon.  They didn't appear to be 
trying to break a pileup, so I assume they were using full breakin and 
listening for calls through the outgoing dits and dahs...or was he just 
reserving his place on the band while he went for a bathroom break?  8-)

My KX1 is the first transceiver I've owned that has full QSK and I'm really 
impressed with how well it works.

73,
