[UK-CONTEST] Warming Up

[Danny Higgins]

Why not partially adopt the Sprint format in contests.  If you call CQ and
give out Serial No 001 then you must relinquish the frequency to the station
who called you.  This will stop all frequency warming, which is particularly
bad in the 80m CC SSB contests where there is never enough room.

Keith,

Maybe whoever it was disagrees with the concept of "keeping a frequency 
warm".  It is not a practice that particularly appeals to me either as it 
rather smacks of "my frequency", something I deprecate.  I agree that 
unknowingly causing QRM by not checking the channel first is bad practice 
but maybe he (or she) didn't hear you??
