[CQ-Contest] Endless CQ-ing

[Rolf T Salme]

Hello,

While we are on this subject, I would like to share one 
particular experience with you.

When I was on the air as XV7SW on 160 meters some
years ago, I took part in one of the major contests on
Top Band. At that time, we could only operate on 
fixed frequencies from Vietnam. The price I had to 
pay for those FQs amounted to a about 1 transceiver/year. 
Hence, I had only one or two frequencies per band. On 
160, my QRG was 1828 kHz.

I presume that you can imagine my frustration when
I had to listen to a station in Europe calling CQ test
on 1828 through most of this contest without ever 
working a single QSO as far as I could hear. 

To sum up this particular contest, he missed
Vietnam - and I missed most of the other 
multipliers.

73,
Rolf
