But you only have to make enough noise to get the guy to stop CQing.
For instance, when calling CQ I wouldn't continue CQing upon hearing
"Zulu Sierra Four." Sorry, I didn't hear the whole call by the end of
my listening quantum so I will start CQing again! Gotta keep the
CQing on schedule! :-)

Yep, there's always that! :-)
The African activity was nothing short of fantastic this during the
contest! A pleasure to hear you boys on the bands this past weekend.
Thanks!
