I love the minus-sign, quick QSX as well. However, on
75m especially, one often finds that the DX station
has picked a not-so-good frequency as a stateside QSO
is going on there. Not a good practice to fire up on
a frequency on which you've never listened.
So I try to listen first... perhaps I'm too nice a
guy. A few times the QSO overheard was a discussion
about how much fun it is to camp out during a contest
and mess with the corn-testers. ;-)
