[CQ-Contest] Improper WPX Exchanges

[Georgens, Tom]

If we really want to up the rate during the pileups, why don't we just
give the serial number every other QSO?  Most Q's are casual ops who
really do not care what the serial number is, so why waste their time.
On top of that, since it is a pileup, everybody but the station who got
through will already know what number you are on, so why bother sending
it.  For the big gun who gets through on the first call, waiting another
10 seconds probably equalizes the competition for the stations that are
not as loud. 

Rate is king, and we don't need any archaic rules slowing us down.

73, Tom W2SC

Is anyone else bothered by serious WPX competitors not giving out a
signal report ?

"V. Exchange: RS(T) report plus a progressive contact three-digit serial
number starting with 001 for the first contact."

A short list of those giving out only a serial number, from just a few
hours of
listening:

4O3A
ZW2D
N7DD
