[CQ-Contest] Unsportsmanlike?

[Bob Wruble]

2 mins is a small price to pay for a new Q in this test (sic) ....
especially sunday
afternoon ....... one is a fool not to qrs when asked or u sense the other
stn is struggling ..... ur gonna spend the time in repeats anyway ( assuming
u want the q)
i tunned the novice bands and found no ss stns ...... gess cw is dying with
a lot
of the newbies...... w7gg
