[CQ-Contest] Sending 'test'

["Chris Tran GM3WOJ" <gm3woj@christran.net>]

Hello all

Thanks to everyone who worked GM2V in CQ WW CW – the world’s #1 CW contest!

I was puzzled as to why many stations waste time by still sending ‘CQ 
<callsign> Test’ i.e. the stock macro from most of the contest software writers.

It’s a major contest weekend, many stations are using contest callsigns, the CW 
portions of the contest bands are full of signals, so ‘Test’ seems completely 
redundant to me. No-one would try to have a rag-chew on CW during CQ WW CW, or 
am I wrong?
