On 40m tonight, I heard 3G0YP make FIFTEEN QSOs without sending his
callsign, then send "QSL Via (whatever the call is) but NOT his call,
make another THREE Qsos, then make a QST about 160m QRV later (but
still NOT send his call), then make another FIVE Qsos before
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y sending 3G0YP once.
I've always failed to understand this from the DX perspective. What's
to be gained by not sending your call, especially in contests? How else
are stations supposed to know who you are? And after a few QSOs, you
end up with guys calling "Your Call?" over top of you, adding to the
overall bedlam of the pileup. The worse the pileup, the harder it is to
work stations.
