[CQ-Contest] Another way to be a lid

[Dale Putnam]

Many times I will match the sending stations speed, if he cqs at 45.. I answer at 45...
and if the rx signal is strong, he might get a second chance at hearing my response...
if not.. he might not get any further tries, unless... unless he slows plenty, and then is polite.
To repeatedly ask for fills at 45.. then finally get the qsl.. again at 45... only when the response was sent 4 - 5 times... ever slower... only to finally get it at 18.. indicates a problem somewhere...   where would you look to correct it? 
  Maybe not respond to that station next contest... ?  He can always make up one more Q somewhere else... and I don't have to have him right?--... ...--Dale - WC7S in Wy> Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2008 09:38:50 -0700> From: w0mu at w0mu.com> To: k4ww at arrl.net> CC: cq-contest at contesting.com> Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Another way to be a lid> > I try to slow down the first time I work someone in the contest.
