As usual, the frustration of stations not sending calls sets in during contests. Is it worse, personally, I don't think so. Its been bad for at least 5 years if not more. A few notables were VP2MMM,
That's odd Ed, For the limited amount of time I was on (roughly 15 hours) I noticed a marked improvement in stations IDing. Of the three listed below, I VP2MMM IDed about every 3 to 4 QSOs, or at lea
I agree with those who are P-D off with bad IDing development. Getting worse for sure and time has come to make a rule revision to enforce better ID practices. The only thing that helps is unfortunat
I think the simple cure is to require the call sign to be part of the exchange. That should also be easy to enforce. OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y CWOps #1211 Northern California Contest Club Arizon

Without some sort of penalty why not guess and/or make up "uniques". Only the Qs that they don't like are the ones you lose. I don't know if the prior or subsequent QSO should be lost, but there need
