[CQ-Contest] Big Gun hogging two frequencies (K3KU complaint)

[Doug Renwick]

Of course I would ask if the frequency was in use before taking it over.  I
didn't mention it in my first post because I presumed that was common sense.

Ain't that a bit rude Doug?
Please consider that you may not be able to hear station B sending his
exchange to station A (the "frequency onwner"), because of cndx. Depending
on the contest exchange and code speed that may take more than five-ten
secs eventually.
If everyone thought the same way contesting would be a big collection of
people insulting each other over the weekend.
Not one minute, not ten seconds without sending "QRL?" either, some middle
ground "in between".
