[CQ-Contest] Your Call?

[Stephen Bloom]

Hmm .I generally ID after every third Q in a heavy run  .. do folks in
general prefer it after each one?  (Serious question).

We do indeed. Randy, are you listening? I even started a brief discussion
about this on the N1MM reflector when a guy asked for a macro to only ID
after 3 QSOs. I said that this is not often enough, because it slows down
S&P operators a lot.

One way to get even is to delete the QSO from your log if you don't hear
their call in a reasonable time. And you would be entirely justified in
doing so -- if you don't know who you worked, it's not a QSO!
