[CQ-Contest] CQWW in-band multi op

[Jeff Kinzli N6GQ]

I'm not sure if it was exactly that, but I had a LOT of issues while
operating as VP9I last weekend with coming back to callers and they just
vanish - that was my first assumption - that they were inband mult stations
that were locked out. I'd come back 3 times, and then move on. Inevitably
they'd be back again on the next round.

The other potential was QRM, I was only LP so its possible that I was just
covered in my return call by QRM.

Maybe a combination of both, but yes, it was very common, and at times it
seemed like it was more the norm than the exception. I didn't write down
when it happened a lot, that would be interesting to see if it was right
after being spotted.
