[Elecraft] KX1 v. TT R4020

[Fred Jensen]

That was a standard call protocol in the coastal marine service.  Listen 
to KSM on Sat afternoons [in NA] on 500, 4350.5, 6474.0, 8438.3, or 
12993.0 KHz.  Their "wheel" will run "V V V   V V V   V V V DE KSM KSM 
KSM [tfc list if any] QSX 500 4 6 8 12."  They have a 16 MHz frequency 
too, can't remember it.  I occasionally fall back into the protocol 
calling CQ when I'm activating a summit and my rate is agonizingly slow 
and I'm getting bored :-)
