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

Yaaay Brett - well said.
Whatever the pros and cons of IDing every QSO or every 20 
QSOs are, and whatever rules contest organisers choose to 
impose, compliance with the regulations set by the relevant 
licencing authority is mandatory - some contests still require a 
signed statement to that effect.   
As an OF (licenced 1951), my memory is not what it was - can 
someone remind me which administrations permit unidentified 
radio communication with stations in foreign countries?
Meanwhile, I'll continue with 'TU ZL1AIH' every QSO - bigger and 
better antennas would do more for my scores than saving a few 
seconds by IDing every 3 or 5 or 10 QSOs - hey, I'm thankful for 
any sort of a pile-up <G>
