But you only have to make enough noise to get the guy to stop CQing.
For instance, when calling CQ I wouldn't continue CQing upon hearing
"Zulu Sierra Four."  Sorry, I didn't hear the whole call by the end of
my listening quantum so I will start CQing again!  Gotta keep the
CQing on schedule!  :-)

Yep, there's always that!  :-)

The African activity was nothing short of fantastic this during the 
contest!  A pleasure to hear you boys on the bands this past weekend.
Thanks!
