[CQ-Contest] Frustration this weekend.....

[Todd Atkins]

These guys would work more stations if they'd just id more frequently.
Oftentimes I'd run across one of these mystery stations that refused
to ID but as soon as he did, WHAM a whole horde of guys calling. And
unless it's some needed mult. in a difficult location, I'm not
sticking around. I don't need to fight a pile-up for a common
entity/zone. I suspect I'm not the only one that moves on rapidly in
these situations.

The worst example was a station in the Africa region who decided to run split on 15M and informed callers of their callsign and RX frequency every 1-3 minutes causing a pileup of callers on their TX frequency and a swath of stations sending 'Up', 'Up', 'Up'.  Seriously, not everyone relies on packet spots and it would be great if the DX could sign their call every 4-5 q's.  This is where bogus spots on the cluster cause major problems as I'm sure that those who simply point and shoot to a spotted mult work 'em and move on before actually hearing the station's call.
