[CQ-Contest] Your Call?

[Stephen Bloom]

Makes sense.  It is something I always seem to be tinkering with.  I'll have
guys sending "?" after 2 Qs without an id ..but ..if you don't keep a
predictable rythym ..you get ops who just call and call ..and nobody works
anyone.

Even worse on RTTY ...I've tried leaving space for tailenders ...since the
exchange is so long ..but that becomes a total mess ..so I now always ID
after each Q.

Thanks/73

I don't think anyone would criticize you for pausing a beat to work a
tailender, but if you have a decent signal, S&P stations are continuously
tuning past you, we need to identify often enough that 1) he doesn't give up
or 2) he has to wait too long to figure out who you are.
