As a hunter if I wasn’t comfortable with a long form QSO then I would just move to another activator. As an activator I would expect that it is someone inexperienced or who doesn’t know about POTA. It can be annoying but I would just be kind to them and have a longer QSO. A POTA activation is for fun anyway. No one’s life is in jeopardy if you don’t have fast QSOs. I would rather not scare away a new CW op.
Great video! This should be required watching for new CW hunters! I try to listen to an activator to get a feel for how they are running their activation. If they are running 'contest style', just sending a signal report and BK, I will shorten my response to just signal report and state, and then BK. N7BBQ
I thought the same thing last year too but I think Begali is in his 80s now. I was thinking I might not get a chance at getting one if I waited too long.
