[CQ-Contest] Pileup behavior CW

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

While in J6 I noticed that many of the European operators felt that they 
needed to send their callsign back even though it was copied correctly 
on our end.  This area also felt if necessary to send our callsign in 
many cases.  Is there some reason that this is done?  This was rarely 
encountered working the US or other areas.

I can understand sending the  call again if I have busted it but sending 
it again is unnecessary and made us wonder if we had been copying the 
calls wrong.  We operated split most of the time so it was not a case of 
not hearing their call.

We also noticed that this same area was also most prolific in trying to 
brute force contacts by continuous calling and what I would deem as 
other rude behavior.  I recall having issue back in the 80's with people 
calling out of turn but it seems far worse today with people ignoring 
the wishes of the DX.

The above was most noted outside the contest period so maybe this post 
might be better served on a DX list.
