Doug....I have no idea who the station that you're talking about really
is .. But I personally think he is a f___ing jerk..... It's that kind of
operating that has driven me away from serious contesting ... I will not
do serious single op efforts any longer. (I'm not doing CQWWCW this
weekend) Nowadays, if I'm operating at all and happen to tune across a
guy who doesn't ID I just won't call him. The only way he's going to
get into my log is if he decides to answer my CQ ... But that's not
going to change anything .... There are plenty spot grabbers out there
who are willing to work and log stations who never ID ..... They're part
of the problem also ... Go figure...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Why is he ashamed of his call???
Can't figure it out.
- His fist (OK, his computer's fist :) ) is good.
- His signal is strong but perfectly clean.
- He's not trying to run anyone off their run frequency.
- He seems to copy the callers just fine.
So why is he so ashamed of his call?
I just worked one Zone 33 station for the THIRD TIME on 10 meters.
Because he goes TWO TO THREE MINUTES between IDs.
Rules suggestion for the 2013 WW:
- Each S&P QSO counts 15% extra -- 1.15 points for own continent (unless
NA in which case 2.30 points), 3.45 points for other continent.
(those wishing to claim the 15% must submit a log with exact
frequencies in the Cabrillo file, so the committee can identify which
QSOs were S&P.)
That may more or less make up for the time S&P operators waste waiting
for some of these guys to ID.
(am I serious or not? Take your pick..)
