[UK-CONTEST] Anonymous stations

[G3SJJ]

Add me to the Annoyed list. I also experienced this, forgot to comment
before.

Good idea to incorporate it in rules, Ian.

Pity nobody recorded them this time. It would have made a good addition to a
few web sites!

Others said much the same... and me too.

Regardless of whether it's deliberate sharp practice or just stupidity,
the effect is the same: it wastes other contestants' time - lots of it -
but not their own.

Maybe this is something the rules should deal with? For example, "All
stations shall give their own callsign (at least) once per QSO."
Enforcement would be easy, especially now that anyone can record audio
direct to HD. If the will is there, this problem could be gone within a
couple of years.
