May be not true in all cases. During this years`s WPX CW I operated qrp
and had quite a few stations terminating the efforts to establish an
exchange by simply starting another CQ (after my last transmission). I
then listened to their next QSO: about half of them sent the number they
had sent to me- so for them no response meant no qso. Still unsure how
do deal with this practice in contests without serial numbers especially
regarding those stations logging me without any comment: Doing it the
hard way and not logging them without ack would be a NIL for them (but
it would be hard for me, too, i.e. with a double mult and a
50:50-chance to be in the log...).
