So I don't get something. If time is of no issue, then why not
rag-chew with each station?
I see these contests as ... contests, in which the object is to work
as many stations as possible. *I* may not feel that way about every
contest, but others do, so in both cases, I need to make my exchange
as efficient as possible. Why *wouldn't* I do that? If not for me,
then for the other guy that is trying to win?
I did see one station who obviously did not care to be as efficient as
possible: "73 AND GOOD LUCK IN THE CONTEST". I mean, come on. Why
bother?
