[CQ-Contest] Multiple Zero Beat Callers

[Jim Brown]

If I can't get at least a partial call, I try to wait them out, hoping 
that at least one of them will be smart enough to dump his call in 
again. :)   JAs, bless them, are so well behaved that it never occurs to 
them that they should try again. :)

JAs zero beat on CW is almost never a problem for me -- many seem not to 
know how to zero beat a caller, and often call outside my RX passband!
