In one session of the weekly Thursday night NS, the Northern California
Contest Club-sponsored weekly Sprint, in the sent exchange instead of
sending your name you sent your ORIGINAL callsign. This was a lot of fun,
quite interesting and in some cases, quite revealing. :))
73 and Seasons Greetings,

Of course, your son is correct. It serves no purpose (any longer) other to
tell the other
guy, "get ready, here comes the part you actually have to copy."
In theory, the same is true for CQWW, except you don't have to send anything
since:
A. everybody is 599
B. you already know what zone everybody is in (99.9% of the time)
C. if B isn't correct, then AD1C will take care of that :-)
Personally, I like some of the exchanges from the 3830 DASH (of decades
ago)...
These varied per "contest" and included:
*what you had for dinner (I sent SOUP once, which a lot of folks still
remember)
*name of your pet (I remember Bonzo from K1KI)
*total # of element used during the last contest (by the time I added them
all up, the
DASH only had 1 minute left)
*etc
Not only did you have to COPY the information, but it was FUN
