[CQ-Contest] Keeping 'em honest

[Rytis LY4U]

Being at the "DX" side of the pileup, not signing after every QSO is in no 
way a matter of keeping max rate (which in my opinion is very questionable 
anyway). It's tactically justified as you try to pick those 3-5 stations who 
already know your call and are still calling - QRP, little pistols, casual, 
off your antenna pattern etc. How can this be called "unsportmanslike"? As 
long as the specific Contest rules don't require to sign after every QSO, I 
will always try to sign just "TU" as long as possible while there are takers 
still.

And by the way, have never in my conscious contesting life called a station, 
without hearing the callsign, no matter how long I need to wait, this is the 
way it is. But sometimes I do "?" or "CL?" ;)
