if someone asks you to repeat something then you do repeat it and then they get it right and they
clarify that with you don't then repeat it again and I'm going to show you what the hell I mean
so I'll give you a complicated call sign just for fun I'll give you um Mike Mike seven Mike whiskey
Delta whatever as probably a real person so don't worry if it's you I'm just just playing
right so you've got this guy you really want to get hold of him some rare DX you've wound the
power up to as much as you dare so you don't get found out and uh you give your call sign
Mike Mike seven Mike whiskey Delta and the fell at the other end who's running
an amplifier but luckily for you he's got a big antenna and the skip was just right as you said
that and he said Mike Mike seven Mike question mark Delta who's the Mike Mike 7 mic station
didn't you do it again don't you Mike Mike seven Mike whiskey Delta over okay Mike Mike now he he's
become unsure right for whatever reason but he kind of sticks to the guns Mike Mike seven Mike
something might like seven what is the end of your call or suffix or prefix or whatever the uh the
the Temptation is to repeat the whole call again
but in fact you'd be better off he's got that bit that's correct this is the bit he's worried
about okay just do it three times Mike whiskey Delta Mike whiskey Delta Mike whiskey Delta over
so he comes back and he says bear in mind you can hear him very well but for some reason you think
psychologically why can't he hear me as well as I can hear him by the way that's a psychological
problem that we have right it's just because we're brought up you know thinking that but this is the
radio now he's running a ton of power and you're not he goes Mike whiskey seven I think I've got
Mike whiskey Delta uh is that right and you go yes which he doesn't hear because of the qsp and
you say it again Mike Mike 7 Mike whiskey Delta now he's confused he's not quite sure because one
of these one of these letters is now not quite sure what you call this is it might Mike six
Mike golf whiskey is that your call no Mike Mike 7 Mike whiskey Delta
eventually he ends back he ends up back at where we were a minute ago Mike Mike seven but he's
unsure of the Mike whiskey Delta uh ignore the purple thing we're having fun as a family vinegar
Mike seven Mike whiskey Delta is that your call yes
and shut up Roger Roger qsl you don't need to repeat it it's not like you're in a room in a
coffee shop where he can hear you as well as you can hear him and there's a lot of hustle bustle
going around and he'd say what's your name I say Callum and they go Callum and you go yeah Callum
that's fine but not on the radio don't repeat it if he's got it right absolutely don't repeat it
you're in a contest I'm going seven Mike whiskey Delta thanks you're giving me five and nine is
that two four seven is that your is that what number you're giving me you go yeah two Falls
oh what what's my number again if you'd have gone Roger Roger Roger qsl over he would have heard
one of the Rogers or the qsl okay if someone has got some information that's right do not repeat
it that is the simple thing you can do all right that's one of my biggest tips and it happens to
me a lot I'll get a call sign right and I'm trying to force them into a corner by saying Mike Mike's
having Mike risky Delta is that your call and you'll hear me on the live stream give me a Roger
I'm trying to tell them don't freaking repeat the goal just give me a Roger sometimes they do they
go yeah Roger ah I've got it it's exactly the same stop giving your whole call again I need
the last letter only this happens to me as well and I get Mike Mike's having Mike whiskey Delta
last letter Delta Delta Delta last two letters whiskey Delta whiskey Delta whiskey Delta over
that's it so imagine that they can't if there are to repeat something's going
wrong they can't hear you very well you know I'm very often running out of limit of my
power sometimes so a little 10 watt station calls in in the main I kind of hear them
but I don't eat them very well so that's the have I labored it enough I have cut
