- It's not a signal report. It's a "catch your breath place marker" to signal the next thing you hear will be their ARRL section. In CQWW it's there to alert you to visually confirm that they send the

- There is no such thing as a "real" report. The ARRL realised that many years ago, and it's why no reports are needed on QSLs for ARRL DX awards. Is it time for the Contest Branch to follow suit? DXer
