[CQ-Contest] WPX SSB Etiquette

[donovanf at starpower.net]

I'm always one of the W3AO 20 meter SSB Field day operators. There's 
so much Field Day SSB activity that its impossible to avoid at least two 
simultaneous CQing stations on the same frequency. Skip zones make it 
quite workable except that there's often some confusion about which 
CQing station the callers are actually responding to

Hi 

That happens a lot between CT and EA station, in the begining of the 
contest we dont hear each other at all.... and it really affects rate 
because we are just like 1 KHz form each other... it's part of the game
