Shane, et al, there is a very simple solution to this problem.
CQ needs to adopt something similar to the SS exchange and make the call a
MANDATORY part of the exchange.
Something like this would not take more than a second:
de N7MAL 5NN T3
The call at the beginning would be mandatory.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Frustration this weekend.....
Is it me or is the issue with DX signing their call sign once every 1-3
minutes (sometimes more!) getting extremely frustrating? The worst example
was a station in the Africa region who decided to run split on 15MÂ andÂ
informed callers of their callsign and RX frequency every 1-3 minutes
causing a pileup of callers on their TX frequency and a swath of stations
sending 'Up', 'Up', 'Up'. Seriously, not everyone relies on packet spotsÂ
and it would be great if the DX could sign their call every 4-5 q's. This
is where bogus spots on the cluster cause major problems as I'm sure that
those who simply point and shoot to a spotted mult work 'em and move on
before actually hearing the station's call. Help!
