If you want to maximize your QSOs you should not be just listening to a single radio waiting for a station to ID. Sprint is a completely different contest which has a QSY rule. It is not reasonable to compare the identification portion of the rules with the WPX contest.

That's why they try to maximize the number of contacts (aka QSOs). <snip> Expecting the S&P operator to waste 30 seconds doing nothing waiting for the run operator to ID is to suggest the S&P operator's time is not valuable - that he is not entitled to COMPETE and WIN. I note the Sprint contests have required ID with every QSO from the beginning. At least here in the U.S. these contests are recognized as *the* test of operator ability. Nobody is suggesting this rule be deleted. IMHO its addition to the WPX is a welcome change. == Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View, TN EM66 _________________________ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest |
