PLEASE!!! : PLEASE!!! : PLEASE!!! : PLEASE!!! : PLEASE!!! :
1) - Amateur operators have 'names' not 'handles' or 'personals'.
2) - One '73' is sufficient. There's no such thing as 73's. Even if there were it would be redundant.
3) - A valid contact comprises exchange of Call sign and signal report with no 'helpers' or 3rd party intervention.
4) - During contests don't say "Please copy." It wastes both your time and mine. I will if I can and won't if I can't.
5) - List operations and DX nets are a scourge to these basic principles.
73, Larry
