I use QRZ, but in looking at the meaning of Q signals, I probably should use
QRV - "I'm ready to receive", after my TU. Do you think QRV instead of QRZ
would
confuse people while I'm running? I don't want to use CQ, if people are already
waiting to call me, and reserve CQ for general calling after the run has
dissipated, per AA6YL.

Hi,
I think that in contest pretty much everybody should use the same format in
their macros. Macros should be predictable. With ragchewing macros we can be
crative, very welcome in fact, but in contest let the pros lead the way and
copy
what they do, I always watch them to try and improve my skills, after all they
must be doing something right... I think the addition of CQ at the end of the
calling macro is one of the best things that ever happended in contesting but
if
I zap by S&Ping and hear a 'QRZ' I will have to wait and see if the station is
actually running or if someone is just wondering who's the station on that
frequency, in other words I'm far from sure who's calling who.
It was nice seing everybody this weekend. HNY 2011
