Everyone is nit-picking IDing every 3 QSOs or what happens if they squeeze a 4th or 5th QSO in without ID. I see this rule aimed at the clown that runs a frequency for 15 minutes without IDing. THAT

A while back there was some discussions regarding the effects that lack of sleep has on a person during a 48-hour contest. This evening I watched this fast-paced video (8:36 min) on the topic, reveal
