[UK-CONTEST] less than efficient exchanges

[G3SJJ]

Ay, you're probably not the only one who thinks that, Graham. Such is life!

There is an accepted way of carrying out a contest QSO, so why does it 
have to be changed? It is simple and logical. When I return your initial 
call it indicates one of two states, either I have got your callsign 
correct and therefore needs no further action on your part, or I have 
got your call wrong, in which case you offer a correction. That's what 
contesting is all about, efficiently and accurately exchanging information.

As regards rate, well surely that's also what a contest is. Getting as 
many contacts in your log in a give amount of time. It's all about 
thinking on your feet, working hard, reeling the fish in but throwing 
them back as quickly as possible so you can move on to the next catch.
