I don't see how we can know the reason for a slow response. I
remember reading somewhere in one of the "advice for contesting
newbies" type thingies that if the newbie doesn't get the exchange
the first time he should just wait and the other station will repeat
it. Of course, the person writing that didn't really know what he was
talking about, and the advice he was giving was not good. Whenever I
have a slow response I assume the other station just didn't get it
the first time, so I repeat it. But I can never know the exact reason for it.
Unfortunately I can't find where I read the "advice..." or I would
have given a link here. Anybody?
