[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Survey results - part 1

[Steve Sacco NN4X]

OTOH -

While the hair on the back of my neck raises up when someone starts a 
QSO with "Please copy", there IS another way of looking at it: Rather 
than considering the downside of the extra couple of seconds lost in the 
QSO, consider that it's very likely a net gain QSO.  In other words, 
they're obviously not serious, and if not for wanting to play around, 
they'd be doing something else, and not giving out ANY contacts.

 > Jim,  When you add to this the many stations that say "roger" (an 
improper CB import for "over" that just does not go away) the Q rate is 
even further diminished. Why can't the response be solely limited to 
what the contest requires?  Sometimes I get so annoyed with this that I 
answer back  "My name is Herb, not Roger."   The other one that is 
perhaps even worse is "good luck and see you after the contest."

running a 250 hour, and every station added a "please copy" your rate 
would be down by over 20 stations, it adds up.
