It's not only contests. I've pretty much given up DXing on 160
because of all the idiots that call and call without listening (and
many without hearing), giving a chance for the DX to answer and be
heard. Also, in any pileup, the DX asks for a specific call fragment
(eg, W2U?), and everyone keeps calling anyway, slowing the rate from
what could be 3-4/min to 1 QSO per 2-3 minutes. It's a shame...
