Sri Hans but you lose. What José prescribes is a good way of controlling
the pileup. When too many stations are calling it all just becomes noise
and the rate may slow down. When José has a continuous pileup he doesn't
need you unless you are a new mult. Yes, we all would like to instantly
know who the station is, but that is not always possible. IDing every
minute or every 4-5 QSOs is in my mind a suitable practice.

Then you are unlikely to find a Q from me in your log. When I abandon or
lose my run QRG, I will usually make an S&P "mult harvesting" sweep across
the band before establishing a new run QRG. If I quickly ID your station
(in 1 exchange) I will work you. If I need to wait a full minute (several
Qs) to ID you, I'll have already worked 3 or 4 other stations up band from
you. I win --- you lose.

What profit it a ham if he gains all the awards yet forfeits his soul?
I'll run the race and I will never be the same again.
