[CQ-Contest] Contest exchange techniques

[David Jones]

Well, I sure heard a few interesting exchanges.  All stations ID's have 
been changed to
protect the innocent.  One poor DX station tripped his VOX and let out a 
"sh**" after
realizing he screwed up a call and then had a dupe.  

I heard another DX station running stations in an interesting manner.

Example:

DX: QRZ? DE DX6DX contest
*stations calling*
DX: W1ABC 59 KW
W1ABC: Thanks,
Break-in: Foxtrot London
Break #2: Hotel Victor
W1ABC: 59 Connecticut
DX: Connecticut, thanks.  Fox London, 59 KW
*exchange*
DX: Hotel Victor, 59 KW
*exchange*
DX: QRZ? DE DX6DX

And it repeats.  I even had a clear shot on a QRZ and got nothing...then 
I tried an
experiment...I may get flamed for this.  I did a semi-tail end "Golf 
Whiskey".  I promply
got a "Thanks, now GW, the 7GW station, 59 KW".  I didn't send the 7 
part during the
tailend.

That was interesting.  I heard another very good example, where a DX 
station made all 2-
letter callers repeat the full call, and he wouldn't give an exchange 
until getting the full
call.  He also ID'd every Q, and was getting an easy rate of 300/hr.

There were good and bad exchanges...and I'm not going to list any more, 
as I've probably
already tried the patience of many.

Flames, comments, whatever, will be considered, although I might not 
agree.
