I, too, live in a rare mult (Washington, DC) for some contests (ARRL 10, RTTY
Roundup and DX; CQ 160) and run into the dilemma Dennis refers to.
My answer is the same as Steve's, although I more often than not do not send
"NIL NIL TRY LATER 73..." as that all too often has resulted in the other
station thinking that the Q is good! I either move on to the next station or
take an extra beat and then move on.
