[CQ-Contest] Running ID

So you worked the station and then remove the QSO from your log because
you did not copy all of the necessary information? That is a terrible
operating practice! It would be a much better to ask for the callsign
during your report - just before you send your report. I have never seen
anyone refuse to ID when asked this way.

When S&P I use the old adage of work-em first and worry about it later.
However not IDing complicates that strategy.  When S&P I try to keep the rate
up, so I often call a station before I know who it is.  If they do not ID
very
soon afterwards, I give them a NIL.  Can’t log a QSO with the call sign field
blank.  Yes I sometimes put them into memory and listen later. Or use the
second radio. But I am not going to wait 10 Q’s for an ID, 2 or 3 maybe
but not
much more.
