[CQ-Contest] non-IDers

[Doug Smith W9WI]

Had relatives in town so I couldn't make a serious effort at the WW SSB, but
I did make about 240 QSOs.  During which, I decided to try a little
experiment.  Every time I heard a station QRZ without giving their call, I
made a note of it - and then stuck around until they did ID.  In this
period, I staked out 27 non-IDers.  17 of them (63%) were dupes -- and I
only had 240 QSOs in the log.  A serious waste of time on my part - and
theirs.  C'mon guys, does it *really* take that much longer to say "X39X"
instead of "QRZ"?  Especially when there's a 60% chance the next caller will
be a dupe???
