That is a pet peeve of mine. They need to give their call often.

Comments:

I decided to do all S&P unassisted for this contest with lots of breaks. 
10m was wide open most of the time I was on. 15m and 20m were also good.

Now I am going to get on my soapbox again.  When doing S&P unassisted, it
drives me crazy how many operators finish their call with QRZ and no call
sign. 
When trying to find new Qs, I either have to waste time until he decides to
give his call, or just move on or shout "What's your Call" if I can get
through the pileup.

I did contact several new countries for me in Kenya-5Z4VJ and Israel-4X6TT
during this contest.  I was able to contact VP5M on 20m and 15m but never
found them on any of the other bands. (Remember I am just spinning the knob)

73, Don-W4BBT
