Last evening I made a bad operating mistake and caused QRM on the frequency
of PJ4D, 40 meters, RTTY. I was shocked to find out I was not split and was
calling on his frequency. My thanks to the ham in California that called me
and told me I was not split. I try to be a good operator and play by the
rules.
I have chased DX since 1979 and I have 336 of the 338 countries confirmed.
Last evening I thought I had a power problem. I moved down off the DX
frequency, changed to CW and simplex. After finding the problem I went back
to the PJ4D frequency, changed to LSB, and thought I set the split.
Evidently
I did not do that. It was a stupid cockpit error and I apologize to all I
interfered with. Sometimes my old brain just does not compute very well.
Lesson learned to be more careful take a closer look at the rig and not take
anything for granted.

Hi Dick.
The fact that you owned up to the mistake shows that you are
basically a good op.
I try to do the same if I make a mistake. I like to take a pride in
behaving well on the bands
but one only has to listen to the EU QRM to see that they have no
manners, exhibit very bad
operating with their continuous calling and just prolong the time
taken for the DX station to
make Qs. Why? It pains me, but not much we can do about it!
We have all called without split at some time, so don't worry about
it. This is why I feel that
transceiver manufacturers should put a very bright, white LED on the
front panel of ALL
transceivers when working split.

Dick,
We've all done that. It's not a bad operating mistake. It's a nit.
A bad operating mistake is sending bad language or purposeful interference.
I still need PJ4D on RTTY in my log, which I am sure is not your fault.
Good luck and 73, Susan K5DU

Dick, if that's the worst thing you've done all day it's been a good day :)
My antennas are down for some work so I don't have the opportunity
to get in on the frenzy and show everyone the proper way to mess things
up......been there......once....okay more than once.

Last evening I made a bad operating mistake and caused QRM on the frequency

Hey Dick, I am with you, not to worry. You realized your mistake, this is
it.
As a matter of fact, there was such a mess while folks called PJ4D, I doubt
if you did a big troubles for others. I personally, did not see you typing
on PJ4D freq. I spent an hour on his frequency before I got him, that was a
ZOO!
No big deal Dick, God Bless.

And after I told Dick that it was no big problem, I did it myself. Bad me.
But now I am in his RTTY log.

The responses to "Bad Mistake" give me hope. I think there is still
good reason to refer to RTTY as the Gentleman's Mode.
