[CQ-Contest] CQ WPX rules, it finally happened

[Zack Widup]

This is reasonable to me. As a really little pistol most of the time, I'm
not going to get through on the first call if the guy has that big of a
pileup. If I'm going to spend a few minutes calling him to get a QSO, I may
as well wait for him to ID and then start calling if he's not a dupe.
