[Dx-qsl] WHY?

Mon Jan 12 15:33:33 EST 2015

I'd think that if you cannot even recognize that your call was just sent by the DX op, you'd want to spend some practice time to increase your copying speed to increase your totals.  That is one way to become a better op.  It's not like you need to write down a paragraph, is it?If you heard the XR0 around 0400Z last night, you might appreciate the speed being on the higher end and not the lower end. In the end, it is not a really big deal, is it?Al

ham told me he gave up on the operation because of the high speed. Would 
it be unreasonable for the DX operator to drop to 25-30 wpm? Nuff sed. **
