Ya know honesty would be nice too,
How many people use contests to grab that state they still need or
country, and claim hey worked them.
But if calls on both ends were not sent it isn't a valid qso is it now?

I don't favor a contest rule requiring "frequent ID." The contest station
primarily must follow the amateur service rules of his or her county - this
is the bottom line. Not ID'ing frequently (selective ID'ing) is also a
contest strategy. How will a frequent ID rule be enforced? Will we
actually see someone disqualified from a contest for infrequent ID? How many
contesters are ever disqualified from a contest anyway? I also wonder about
the contest rule that says "listening time counts as operating time." How
is -that- rule enforced? Doesn't it make more sense to start the clock when
someone logs his or her first QSO? Just a thought.
If I don't hear a station identify frequently, I spin the dial to look for
someone who is actually ID'ing. I think the competitive contesters who do
not identify frequently lose the S&P'ers like me (but that is
-their-strategy). Even though I personally do not think a frequent ID rule
will work, it will be interesting to see if it does. Thanks to all of you
out there who ID frequently during contests; this S&P'er really appreciates
it!
