Yes, the lack of IDing bothers me as well. The other pet peeve I have is
stations in state QSO parties on SSB who don't use phonetics. You would be
surprised how hard it is to get a correct callsign because so many letters
sound alike. This doesn't seem to be near as much of a problem in the
bigger SSB contests.
