[CQ-Contest] Latency

[Charles Harpole]

I noticed the same thing on both CW, especially, and phone where if I was
given a QRZ and I sent my call twice with no break between, nevertheless
the other station began sending after my first I.D. and on top of that
never waited to see if I copied or not.

Then there were the cut numbers, grrrrr.   73, Charly
