Similar thing here. In the UK, it's generally frowned on to call CQ on a
repeater,

I have to disagree. What's wrong with calling CQ GB3xx??

but you often hear new licensees doing it. I usually just say something
like "G6URP listening GB3xx" (repeater calls all start GB3 here).

73 Ivor G6URP


G6URP listening GB3xx

CQ G6URP on GB3xx

???

what exactly is the difference Ivor???????

"Hello CQ 2. Hello CQ 2 metres. This is M0WWS listening GB3BT and 'by for
any calls" is my usual patter. Care to tell me what exactly is wrong with
this Ivor?

My Call is M0WWS. I had an accident,
and I woke up in uk.radio.amateur.
Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time?
