[UK-CONTEST] Failure to Identify

[Rob Harrison]

Initial calls is the key phrase, so if you've just finished with one 
station, you need to give your callsign again as you are initiating a new 
contact. The 15 mins would be acceptable in a ragchew situation. I suppose 
the license conditions weren't written with contests or pile ups in mind.

The other problem is the rapid fire callsign given so fast you don't get it 
for several overs. At least it's given frequently though.

It's just poor operating to go for minutes on end without identifying.
