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

[john at kk9a.com]

Assuming the station is following the three QSO per I.D. rule, you may
wait much longer than 30 seconds for an I.D. if the pileup is unruly and
the op is slow.  Then when he finally sends his callsign it may be covered
up by the pileup and you will have to wait though another cycle.  If you
do not wish to wait, just work him and ask for the call.  If he starts
getting too many dupes, he may I.D. more frequently.

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?
