Yes .. I agree. Only 2, out a (mere) 409 ... but I took time and listened,
and they spent far more time repeating reports than they saved by cutting
callsign .. However, I do remember the 80s, early 70s, when major contesters
DID NOT send that info .. but, it was easier to do when using a pencil vs.
keyboard! HIHI .. 73, Mark .. AA6DX -- hammin' for 47 fun filled years!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange
