[CQ-Contest] WPX SN...has to be a better way!

[Barry]

Run some power.  Oops...

My suggestion - follow the other guy's lead.  Do what he wants you to 
do.  I can't tell you how many times I've asked for NR only and get 
5NN<QRN> back, and it's amazing how the QRN is in sync with the part I 
need to copy.
