Scott,
I haven't read the rules over since before the contest even with all of this
going on. If what you say below is true then everyone who used ANYTHING
other than THEIR callsign was illegal.

So saying "cq CONTEST" tells others that you're in a CONTEST and is an aid
for others to identify and help you.

In this scerario ONLY THE ENTRANT CAN SPOT HIMSELF. This would be
interesting.
Just food for thought

Hi Martin,
This is a pet complaint of mine. During the ARRL SSB contest, I heard similar
problems with one of the big midwest M/M's on 15 meters. Per their website
they have very nice equipment (probably $10,000 per operating position)
and have spent lots of money on antennas. There should be no excuse for
that kind of dirty signal as they could easily hook up an extra receiver to
check
their audio quality on each band. This applies to most stations as very few
serious contesters have only one transceiver in their shack. Also, station
monitor scopes are very inexpensive on the auction sites like Ebay. At my
home QTH where I currently only have one transceiver, I bought a second
receiver just so I had some way of monitoring my own signal quality.
In most cases, I don't think the splatter is intentional. People are just not
bothering to be careful about how they adjust their equipment.
Mike, W4EF............................
