I noticed this as well and perhaps there's a simple explanation. 80mCC is
bringing lots of new calls into contesting, and I sense some are not
frequent CW ops. So how does a newbie CW contester start a QSO? Probably
the way he was taught/read in a book - and that says you send the other
station's call then yours at each over. If they keep going on contesting
(and DX chasing for that matter) they'll get the hang of it and the
'problem' will go away as they gain confidence. Frustrating as it might be,
everyone they call suffers the same longer QSO.
Don ('XTT) is this addressed in your new operating guide?
