[CQ-Contest] IDing

[Larry]

Personally I send my call after every QSO. But a busted cluster spot is 
obviously more correct than what you or I are sending. Even if I think a 
spot is correct I will still listen (but usually not for long) for the other 
station's ID as there are many busted spots.

Hi Steve,



Implicit in your response is the recognition that there is a trade-off
between wasting the time of those who know your call and are already in the
pile-up, and those who are listening for your call to see if they want to
join your pile-up. I think it is fair to favor those who have already called
in the pile-up.



Also, in my experience, I ID more frequently on Sunday since the pile-ups
are not as intense as on the first day of the contest. The only time I
notice a lot of dupes is when a spot for me is busted. I sometimes make a
note of the time and check for likely busts of my call after the contest -
usually UY2TT, and more often than not, that is what I find caused the
dupes, not a lack of IDing. When I suspect a spot has my call busted (2 or 3
dupes in a minute,) even with a big pile-up, I'll ID a few QSOs in a row.



In any event, I'm glad I'm not on your lack of IDing bad offender list:)
