SKCC – 24/7 Contest
I am beginning to think that SKCC activity is just a 24/7 contest. All too often when I make a general CQ call (not CQ SXCC – I think I only did this once during WES) and get an answer from another SKCC member, they just want to exchange numbers. If a CQ SKCC call is answered there is no hope that more than RST, state, name and SKCC number will be exchanged. (I am not referencing CQ calls during a scheduled SKCC contest.) It looks like an SKCC contact is only a little more than monitoring the Reverse Beacon.
