EA8ZS was sending Zone 44 on some bands, all weekend!
Nope. He was sending "VV" which is the braindead equivalent to "33" Ah, I wondered about that - I just heard a bunch of dots and a dash at the end :-) Hardly worth shortening it that much, really. HC8N was sending ENNAT, which is much less ambiguous. Oh well, I'll count the dots more carefully next time! Derek aa5bt |

ABBREVIATED NUMBERS Typically Used In Contests (sorry, can't reproduce them on my mail system) Where is this list from? No problem with 0, 1 and 9 but "V" for 4? Peter said VV was meant to be 33 in the case of EA8ZS in the recent contest.... I have never heard any of those other abbreviations used in 15+ yrs of CW contesting. I have heard a single "dit" for 5, as part of "599", when it's unambiguous. And in the ARRL contest when power is part of the exchange, I've heard 599 000 for a KW (I sometimes reply "fb QRP"). I hope nobody sends these things to me in a contest as a serial number, other than 0, 1 and 9! Derek aa5bt (I guess that's 11560, or something...) |

A: It defies the logic of sequential reading. Q: Why is top posting a nuisance? Peter Lemken Berlin -- Toleranz, das war doch diese resultierende Verhaltensweise, wenn man sich zwischen Abscheu und Mitleid nicht entscheiden kann. (Andreas Kroschel in de.alt.talk.unmut) |
