Something has lighted in my mind this morning.
I will call CQ. Then someone calls me. I quickly respond him/her exactly in this way;
599 NO QSL
If he/she goes away giving me a report, that means he wanted that type of QSO.
If he/she wanted to know more of me, he/she is a ham who enjoys conversational QSOs.
Of course, my response could discourage such a ham. But ther are too many who do only contest style QSOs. I would discourage them not to call me any more. They are too many like white ants eating a wooden house.
I would name it as THE LITMUS TEST FOR CONVERSATIONAL QSO.
Dear Shin,
ReplyDeleteI just got off the air after a QSO with you on 15 meters (W7EEU). I am so excited as you are my first contact with a Japanese amateur radio station!!!! Thank you so much for the QSO and I hope we can meet again.. I see that you are a cellist. My 9 year old son is a cellist also and he is learning through the Suzuki method.

Rich,
DeleteI was honored to be your 1st JA. You sounded composed in the QSO, so that it was hard to believe it in the QSO. I am active on 15m in our morning hours. See you again soon.
Great on your son being a cellist. Whether he would specialize it or not, he will enjoy the instrument throughout his life for sure. Say hello to him.
Shin
