OTOH -
While the hair on the back of my neck raises up when someone starts a
QSO with "Please copy", there IS another way of looking at it: Rather
than considering the downside of the extra couple of seconds lost in the
QSO, consider that it's very likely a net gain QSO. In other words,
they're obviously not serious, and if not for wanting to play around,
they'd be doing something else, and not giving out ANY contacts.

> Jim, When you add to this the many stations that say "roger" (an
improper CB import for "over" that just does not go away) the Q rate is
even further diminished. Why can't the response be solely limited to
what the contest requires? Sometimes I get so annoyed with this that I
answer back "My name is Herb, not Roger." The other one that is
perhaps even worse is "good luck and see you after the contest."
