Sending "5NN" and (even) CQ zone (which logging and log checking software
computes automaticaly from the callsign and which your logging software
inserts automatically) is just another waste of time! Instead, you could be
making another Q! So, modern pile up may sound:
Runner: QRZ?
DX: S57AD
Runner: S57AD
DX: NA5TR
Runner: NA5TR,
etc...
I completelly agree with Rusty - putting your callsign on the summary sheet
should be sufficient!
Anything else would be just waste of precious time!
