Absolutely, Art. I noticed several delays from big guns in CQWW. Their
busy working someone on another band/freq. Their time is more important
than yours.

My "fresh meat" Saturday night operation in ARRL 160M Contest can yield
some nice runs from Big Guns (and mid-Atlantic locals).
Last Saturday night 1045Z a Big Gun in northeastern North America answered
my CQ, sending his call twice. That was unusual. I wondered if I was
particularly weak at his station (not likely), and maybe he thought I would
need the QSX to get his call.
But now I'm wondering: Could he have been creating a couple of extra
seconds on transmit so that he could finish copying something (a call
sign?) on the other radio?
Are SO2R op's adding this trick to their skill set?
