All the 5/9’s!
5/9, 73 Q-R-Zed! 5/9, 73, Q-R-Zed! 5/9, 73, Q-R-Zed! No, probably not 5/9, what is your callsign? You’ve been talking for 10+ minutes and never mentioned your callsign. Remember how a QSO is supposed to be conducted? Do I care if my signal report is less than 5/9? Absolutely! It tells me what the band conditions are like between you and I. Do all operators want to be 5/9? Of course! But if they’re not, it’s not a slap in the face. If you’re a DX entity (or for that matter, anyone that’s “popular” and has a pileup), give your damn callsign. Give the signal report correctly. If someone sounds 5/5, let them know! Are you afraid of hurting some Precious Snowflake feelings?
