2m FM calling practices
Similar thing here. In the UK, it's generally frowned on to call CQ on a
repeater, but you often hear new licensees doing it. I usually just say something like "G6URP listening GB3xx" I do the same. I think this whole "anti-CQ on repeaters" movement came from the days where repeaters were a new and strange phenomenon. And possibly some used their 80m and 40m CQ calling techniques. You know what I mean- "CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ, this is ????? CQ CQ CQ etc etc blah blah". Now doing THAT on a repeater would annoy the life out of everyone so must be discouraged. And this has developed into an intolerance to hearing the letters C and Q together. After all, what's the difference between. VK2CJC listening for any calls. and VK2CJC calling CQ. Keep it short. Keep it clear. And who cares what terminology is used ) |
