[CQ-Contest] Unsportsmanlike?

[K0LUZ]

This guy has got to be a crackpot!!!

Considering how qso's become hard to find on the second day of SS,  I can't
imagine anyone telling him to go away UNLESS he sent his call over and over
and over.  Then I send the report and he again sends call over and over and
I QRS and give entire report and he gives his call over and over and over
and I slow down even more and give the whole report (slow so that it means
I've taken a couple of minutes just to send one report) and he still acts
like he can't figure out his name.  THEN I'd tell him to go away!  I didn't
work anyone like this,  but there has to be more to his story!

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment.  Comments?
