2. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the DX stations are not IDing as
frequently as they did before Packet.
You got that right! In fact I was going to propose that unassisted stations
be allowed a certain number of "Packet Chips" per contest. This would allow us
to log onto the packet network "x" number of times during a contest for the
sole purpose of obtaining a station's callsign. Some stations appear to be
using packet in lieu of signing their call on a reasonable basis. Of course
I'm not serious but any unassisted op who has experienced the following:
DX Station - K4ZW 599 XX
K4ZW - 599 5
DX Station - TU
for 3 - 10 straight QSO's while the multitudes call, know exactly what I mean.
Happy Holidays!
Ken K4ZW
