Don't ya love those guys!

If we could just find out what publications they read and write a short,
simple article on how to operate a contest like a pro or something like
that.  I believe we also need to find the guys who asked for repeats from
them and who ultimately convinced them they needed to send their call two or
three times.  :-)  If there were only a Q-signal for "Send your callsign
only once. You are readable and I can copy CW."

I didn't notice so much of that.  The DX stations continue to amaze me: I
often cranked my calls to DX stations (strong and weak) up to 33wpm and most
got my call first call, in spite of me being QRP.  Cool!
