[CQ-Contest] Why?

[Richard Thorne]

Same here Pete,

I would drop my call in once or twice and then wait.  Occasionally, I 
would wait until the pileup would stop and the dx was not transmitting 
which would be successful.

People would continue to send hoping to bully their way into the log.  
This caused me a lost qso, or at least a delayed qso more than once.  
The dx station would would reply with 'zc' or 'c' and then several 
stations would call without a 'zc' or 'c' in the call.

Yes, it's getting worse.  USA and Europe.
