If you don't know who they are, don't call them. If, as a S&P station, you don't want to wait for an ID, move on to work someone else. Some stations ID after every contact. Some after every other. So

It wasn't just you Doug. The problem has been discussed before but it exploded this weekend like I've never heard it before. I don't know why. I get not ID'ing after every QSO at times. But going 5 o

Hi Ron True, but if someone is sending '5nn23', I'd sure like to know who it is. If they are sending '5nn13', I'd probably not be all that excited and move on. 73 Tom W7WHY "If you don't know who the

The problem is recent, and getting worse. It stems from those stations assuming everyone else knows their call from spots or the RBN. For as long as they get a steady stream of callers, they have no

Solutions: 1. Tune by without working the non-IDer. 2. Ask for his call BEFORE you give your exchange. For example: TUer: TU You: K4ZW TUer: K4ZW ENNN You: CALL? etc. I've had the occasional TUer say

I understand. And I know it's frustrating. But it's one thing to wait (as frustrating as it is) on a "rare" Zone 23 station. Odds are pretty good he knows he has the zone to himself and can do things

The flip side is that it behoves callers to actually listen. I was mis-spotted late yesterday as G4XTT and the spotter corrected it less than a minute later with an apology. But I ended up with a bun

The problem goes in cycles. It is getting worse at the moment. There will be some backlash as a result of discussion. The situation will improve some for awhile and then get worse again if it follows

Paul, I agree that every third or fourth call is ideal. We have the technology to enforce it. I believe that RBN can actually record the entire contest and play back individual stations. It would be

Well, heck yes Paul, it's a form of pile-up management. Not IMHO a good practice, nevertheless, it's there. But it's not recent, nor can it be blamed on the cluster or RBN. Those may exacerbate it, b

Guys, you are all missing the best way to police the offenders. Work them but don't log them. If they see their UBN rate climbing, they will change their practice. After all, they are trying to win.

As someone else observed the detection by the offender is much too late to be useful. The offender would probably conclude "you" messed up by not logging the QSO. There is nothing that would lead me,

The reason I believe it is acceptable to work them and not log them is because if you run out of patience in waiting for them to sign, then you honestly don't know what to log. I believe its no diffe
