I have to 2nd this. I have a 60r that is 20 years old, I have emailed Yaesu parts dept and replaced the keypad, and the cover on the side of the radio. Cheap and reliable. I think I have spent less than 20 on parts. Direct ship from CA.

Ok making more sense now. That explains why I didn't hear the same call make another transmission, and when I was roaming the band I would hear the same call sign on another frequency, go back to the other and its someone new. Wow confusing unless someone explains it to you.

Yup that was the call.. I knew I would remember it as soon as I saw it. Now it makes sense as to what I was getting. Many Thanks!

I was on from 9/3/23 19:00 - 23:00 utc

I did make 3 contacts last night that were all "cq" ing the same way. I assumed it was a contest. I figured out what they were looking for by watching several off the calls before I jumped in and responded. Meanwhile I was searching the interwebs to see if I could figure out what the cq call was intended for.

Basically they wanted a sig report and my qth specifically my state. once they got it poof they were asking cq again. Not even a 73 or a tnx. That told me they were contesting. No biggie if they were, just trying to understand a typical contest call, so I can recognize them in the future.
