Hi, Jimmy --
I agree provided of course that the operator has given his callsign
recently. In many cases they do not. If I tune by and hear a pileup and all
the opr is saying is "QRZ?", I'll call him. If it turns out to be a dupe,
that's his problem. If he would have identified after every 1 or 2 QSO's, I
never would have called him to dupe him in the first place. It's a colossal
waste of his time and my time but if he doesn't ID, what else can you do? It
gets down to the ignorance of the DX station and HIS poor pileup management
techniques, NOT the stations who are calling him.
BTW, I've submitted a new Q-signal to the ARRL:
QDC? -- What's your damn call?

I don't mean to incite a riot or anything, but can someone please
point me to the exact language in the regulations that state this?
Respond directly to me and I will summarize to the list.
