If a DX station is listening on or close to his frequency and has a pileup,
which is the usual case in a contest, you have to be able to hear when the DX
goes back to someone -- you, for example. If I had a buck for every time
I've heard a DX station go back to someone who then proceeded to dump his call
in again because he didn't use QSK, I could afford a new Alpha.
Good point, I indeed have heard just what you mention here but, I would not
go so far as to call someone a LID if they don't use QSK. You all can tout
QSK all you want, but calling someone a LID for not using it is totally
uncalled for. Besides isn't CW (morse code) going to be history soon anyway?
Pretty soon the companies will delete QSK from their rigs. Hi Hi
