I just thought I would check to see if I am using the proper protocol on AO 51. Based on the last pass, I gather one should wait for a station to call another station, then key up on top of the caller. Then when the other station attempts to respond, we should all key up on that station. Also, on a busy weekend pass, one should call out 'CQ' 'CQ' multiple times. Etc.
THAT was the rudest pass I have ever heard...LID City

No no no no, You've got to call "OOOOOOOh-la ooooooooohlaaaaa oooooohlaaaaa <whistle whistle whistle> oh-la oh-la oooooooh-laaaaaaa" all throughout the pass.
Jeez, kids these days with their CQ and their letting go the PTT button. What is amateur radio coming to?
