It's easy to think this, except for all the belly-aching about it right here
on this reflector. I'm pretty sure there are a few reading this who might
consider adjusting their operating practices to make more than one QSO when
they get on.
Also, as the "leaders" of contesting, which is one definition of people who
read a reflector where the non-serious people don't hang out, it is somewhat
incumbent on us to lead by example and train the people who don't read this
reflector.
Finally, the problem is not limited to casual operators. It is also caused
by serious guys (who read this relector) who aren't in the contest, who turn
on the radio, look for their pal trying to win, work him and turn it off.
Bad. Better is to make several QSOs before going back to the mowing or
whatever.
And for gosh sakes do what the winners do and tell people who give you #1 to
go work the other guys. That is the simplest solution, increases the
overall activity, and leaves the best impression of contesting with the
casual guys who don't read this reflector.
