OT: Calling frequency "behavior"

Ken G Kopp
"CQ" several times ... "this is K0PP in DN36 listening 50.140, etc.".  I
usually don't even listen (on the calling frequency) after I call CQ.  I've
already stated where I'm listening.

BTW ... one should -always- know/give your grid square.  For most it's more
important than your actual city/town.

Beware of grid info found on QRZ.com ... nearby Butte, MT has border
dividing the town and several with POB's aren't in the same grid as the POB
listed on QRZ.

73

K0PP
