Henk, how You will explain me the following things. During the last RTTY WPX
three times I try to call stations cqing with +20 db level and didn't get
the answer.
For me it is clear that those SO2R stations just keep their run frq while
made QSO
somewhere else. It is no way to be consider that they could make qso in 2-3
seconds
pause in CQ. They just hold the freq.! Once it was funny when we made qso on
this freq
with other station  calling this guy with out any protest from him ;)
I know that You and many others do not use such a practice, but I met such a
way to
maximize the score so often in every contest. That's why I'm for the
separate the SO2R
from other groups. Let them compete with each other.

73!
