[CQ-Contest] Comments on CQWW Rules

[Hank Greeb]

I think the FCC has it right.  Every 10 minutes complies with the law.  
If you wish to ID more often, that's your prerogative.

What's all the fuss, anyway?  If I run across a LID who isn't IDing 
often enough for my taste, I just find some other station to work.

Besides, the "big guns" generally "run" in a contest, sometimes have a 
2nd receiver to catch rarer DX, but spend little time doing S&P.

For me, with my "mighty 5 watts to an antenna proven to be somewhat 
better than a dummy load buried 6' underground" most of my operation is 
S&P at a rate which is akin to watching paint dry.

Please consider a more definitive approach....something like: id'ing must be done at least every 3-5 qsos. Most good ops ID more often than that. Even if a station is running at 5 qsos/minute, waiting for the call of a station will not cause the listener that much of a loss of valuable time.
