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

[Radio K0HB]

Why should I wait 30 seconds to hear an ID?  My time is just as valuable as the run-station.  As you point out, I could make 2 or 3 more Q's in the time I'm expected to wait for him to favor his audience with an ID.


And who are those "common folks" who should just go away?

Id after every contact does level the playing field for everyone in the competition. IMHO I think this would be a good rule. 


The argument that less QSO's would result is not necessarily true.  Looking at Valery R5GA's record rates website.

There are a few well known single ops in the top ten that I'd after every contact. In fact a few had the best rate some years in certain contests.
