Topband: Patience in ARRL 160 Contest

[Joe Wilkowski]

IMHO, this depends on what mode you are in.  If you are searching and
pouncing he already knows your call  as he came back and gave you a report.
So 5nn and section is perfectly fine here.  If you are running, then sending
his call and the report is pretty much sop.

> 3.  Send only 5NN <section>.  Do not send my call, BK, etc

I'll actually disagree with this.  Sending "my call" eliminates any
confusion about who is being worked.  In many situations on 160 - it is very
handy.  I once got called by W8JI after 10 minutes of CQing with no answers.
I wasn't really sure he was working me or not since there were lots of
people on the band that I couldn't hear (like all of Europe).
