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

[N7mal]

Shane, et al, there is a very simple solution to this problem.
CQ needs to adopt something similar to the SS exchange and make the call a 
MANDATORY part of the exchange.
Something like this would not take more than a second:
de N7MAL  5NN T3
The call at the beginning would be mandatory.
Best 73

Is it me or is the issue with DX signing their call sign once every 1-3 
minutes (sometimes more!) getting extremely frustrating? 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. Help!
