This was lightly touched on a while ago. But today it got me to 
thinking.  What is the best exchange out there?

I mean  really, what now days do you expect to hear so you can maximize 
your ability to copy the information, and make max QSO rates?

I remember the conversation here about none of the not needed "Thank 
You"  or "Please Copy" stuff on Phone.

And I remember in the 70's on CW the BK was sent at the end of every 
transmission to let the other station know it's being turned over to 
them now.

Like sent in CW  "K9XYZ UR 5NN WI BK"

I can't remember the last time I heard a BK,

Or like in Field Day as an example in the 70's again,  Like the end of a 
contact would have been something like

"K9XYZ RR TU QRZ FD DE WB9SBD K

I know nothing like this happens anymore.

So  say with the up coming ARRL CW DX Contest,  the exchange is,

W/VE: RST + (state/province)
non-W/VE: RST + power

Whats everyone thoughts of what you would wish everyone would use as a 
format on a typical QSO?

I'm curious to see the possible wide variances of what people would like 
to hear.
