[CQ-Contest] How frequent to ID? Every QSO? No way!

[Russell Hill]

Sending your call at the end of the contest??? Even if it is just once???

What a waste of time!!!  You could be making another Q!

Just put your call on the summary sheet-- that should be sufficient.  ;>)

You're absolutely right! The solution is that everyone should behave
like ZD8Z#N -- who only sends his call ONCE - right at the end of the
contest.

Gosh, he'll save over 3 and a half hours of operating time. Wow! What a
slick operator!
