Do we simplify the exchange to the point that no one is different and a contest
sounds like a 48 hour Morse Runner event ?
Talk about all of us becoming grumpy old men - Next, we will all want
participation certificates.
Hang on maybe that is already happening with the Multitude of Categories....

Vince,
Many ops use QSK, as I do. If I hear you start to call me when I've
re-started to CQ, I stop and copy your call.
Yes, I would agree it's annoying if people call CQ with many calling. But
I find that to be rarely the case.
I was watching an Eu op on Youtube today... He had a HUGE CW pileup... if
he did not get a call, he would CQ again!!
Not impressive.
