No arguement of the IDing thread but here's an additional possibility if you 
are listening in on the DX station:
2 mins with no ID
DX:  QRZ
ME:  N1UR
DX: N1UR 5933
ME: 5905
DX: QRZ
And your thinking, he must have grabbed the spot.
Nope.  I am running at a good clip on radio 1 and caught the guy's call 3 mins 
ago and he is still in my radio 2 buffer.  This was my first chance to call him 
and not break my rate.
Be careful what you assume when listening in.
That said, I don't think you should go more than 60 secs without IDing.  I 
don't.
