[CQ-Contest] The Calling Disease...

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

If the DX station calls for a W4, then he should be persistent and keep  
calling for the W4 until he works a W4.  The pile up stations will soon  
realize the the DX station is serious about working who he has called for and,  
hopefully, cease their persistent calling. 
 
However, if the DX stn first calls for a W4, and then goes  back to a 
non-W4, the pile up will realize that he is not  serious about digging out the 
W4, and the pile up will  continue.

A  disease for sure.  Calling no matter what the DX sends is  commonplace
during DXpeditions but now it's run wild in CQ WW.  The DX  comes back to W4
and I hear N9, K6, W5, etc., calling and calling.   Why?  How do we stop 
this
stupid practice?



I don't name  names, but there were a few stations who were perpetual
offenders this past  weekend.  Sure, we all make a mistake and call out of
turn, but doing  it constantly is like a little kid who says me, me, me.  Or
the woman  who used pepper spray at a Wal-Mart to push her way to the front
of the  line.



We all want the QSO.  But causing the DX station to  take more time to dig
out the call and make the QSO just slows everything  down!  



Let's have a discussion of this practice and  reverse this trend!
