There seems to be a lot of new calls this weekend. Jot down the call
sign where you got the QSO B4 and after the contest, forward a copy of
your message to him. The fellow might just be starting out and doesn't
know that QSO B4 was banned from the airwaves. It's an opportunity to
Elmer someone just getting started.
I am seeing a lot of fellows also CQing but not putting a trailing CQ
after their call sign. That's my favorite nit pick. When I tune across
someone and I only get a call sign, I start reciting "wasted time,
wasted time, wasted time..." until they finish calling CQ again.
But then if I was REAL serious about this contest, I wouldn't be on the
internet writing emails either... "wasted time, wasted time, wasted time..."

Why would anyone use B 4
I am NOT a big contester and I only do S&P
I use N1MM and IF there is a DUPE the program lets me know.
So when I call a station and he tells me B4
Yes I am in his log but HE is NOT in my log
Maybe because I did not log him when we had QSO
Maybe I logged his call incorrect
Or I never printed his report and he moved on to the next station calling
as some contest stations are in a hurry.
OR many other reasons
But just the same I always send my log in even if I only make a few QSO's
So when I call and you tell me B4 the QSO will not count for you
As there will be NO match ..
SO JUST FORGET THE B4 AND WORK ME
Then u will get credit for the QSO.
Most likely you can work me about as fast as doing the B4 tx.
