[Elecraft] Swains Island

[Gary Gregory]

*Tony,

I have worked them on 4 bands so far bbut I have noticed they continually
ask for a partial call sign to be repeated. By this I noticed they will ask
"the station ending in Tango your call?" and they do this with almost every
call and most of the time on all bands.

Listening to the pileup I am able to clearly distinguish quite a few calls
and I am not that far away from them by distance.

You have to wonder if their job would have been easier IF they were using
K3's

:-)
