Isn't it odd that only RTTY has the CQ tacked on the end. And since
RTTY is sending at nearly twice the average speed of CW one wonders
why? Guess our ears work far better than most RTTY decoding software.

just the qrz message!
Point of order -- what is a "qrz message," and why would we want to
automate it?
"QRZ" at the end of a contest or pileup qso is a big time waster,
because it doesn't tell prospective callers WHO you are. The RIGHT way
to end a CW QSO is "TU W6IHG" On SSB, "thanks W6IHG," and on RTTY, TU
W6IHG CQ. In all cases, S&P callers know who you are, and you're
advertising your presence rather than concealing it. When you use
"qrz," the good ops tune right past you.
