[CQ-Contest] "please copy"

[Bob, N5RP]

I, for one, am grateful for every contact I make during FD weekend with a 
new station or operator that might normally never get on during HF contest 
operations.

As I work the "inefficient ops", I make a point, not always, but often, of 
thanking them for the contact, wishing them a "good morning'" before I give 
the exchange, and even take a second to ask the op where the exact location 
and setup situation might be.

Adherence to ultra rate highly efficient contest QSO exchange format ? - 
not exactly.
Fun ? - yes.
Will it bring somebody new into a weekend chase ? - Hopefully.
Do I care at how inept the "other end" might be in the QSO exchange ? - Nope.
