I'll offer a possible explanation . . .
I did a very quick setup of N1MM at my home station to make a few Qs on
Sunday afternoon. I kept getting people asking for my check. After a few
more QSOs, I realized that my callsign wasn't being sent. (I just used the
default setup with just {Exch} in memory.)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange
I am throwing this out there for comment.
In SS, I worked a number of ops who did not send their callsign as part of
the exchange. I found this to be very frustrating for several reasons,
namely (1) sending the callsign as part of the "required exchange" is
specified in the SS rules, (2) it breaks the rhythm when copying the
exchange, and
finally (3) it gives the op an advantage by not taking time to send his
callsign.
Question: Should there be a penalty for not sending the callsign as part of
the required exchange?
