The rules may have changed, but use to be you gave other stations call 
at beginning and end of the q s o as well as your call and you had to 
identify every ten minutes.  Most round tables I'm these days don't make 
long transmitions, we just make a comment back and forth.  Some body 
watches the clock and every ten minutes, we all identify.
