[ILQSO] Why not QRS?

[jim funk]

No laughter here, and not mad, either.  You make a valid point.

I made the same suggestion in several postings to our local club about
sending "?" , nice and s-l-o-w.... if they came upon a speed demon CQing in
IQP.  Don't know if any of them took my advice :)

If I had been a fixed station, I certainly would have sent some slow CQs.
As a mobile, please understand that I almost *never* sent three unanswered
CQs in a row.  In fact, in one county (I forget which), I think I was
working someone when I crossed the county line, asked them to QRX while I
changed .cfg files, worked them in the new county, and the pileup
reassembled.  I'm not sure I *ever* called CQ there!

I guess one possibility is to move the 15 meter CW frequency to 21.120?  I
hope 15 meters is still a factor next year!  Yes, there are Novices on CW,
but they're hard to find.
