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

[Chris Plumblee]

I'll gladly stipulate that my strategy works much better in WPX or another
serial number contest than in CQWW or ARRL DX. Maybe that's why the
alternative method is popular; send "CL?" over any portion of the ongoing
QSO to try to elicit a callsign from the running station.

You need more experience !

All too often the exchange goes like this:

CQ2LID: TU
N2IC: N2IC
CQ2LID: N2IC 5NN A4
N2IC: CL ?
CQ2LID: TU

CQ2LID has already worked me on 3 other bands, and his log prefills my
Zone 4 exchange. No need for him to wait for me to actually send it.

My solution to this...QSY ! I don't know his call, so I have nothing to
log. He gets what he deserves - a NIL. Loses that QSO and 3 penalty
QSO's (for CQWW).

Steve, N2IC
