I know I'm probably beating a dead horse, But doesn't some contest
software and the Skimmer specially look for the DE to identify call-signs?

The big one is this weekend, CQWW RTTY. http://www.cqwwrtty.com/
Here are some tips that will make everyone's weekend more fun.
To DE or not to DE. It depends, but mostly not. Almost all the time, who is
sending is clear from sequence and timing. DE usually adds nothing to a
contest exchange, and DE can be very confusing. For instance, W6SX 599 05
IN DE w4xxx. Ditch the DE.
When responding to a CQ, it is generally a waste of time to send
W6SX DE w8xxx
Instead, just drop your call one, two, or three times depending on
conditions.
CQ TEST W6SX W6SX CQ
w8xxx w8xxx
w8xxx 599 03 CA
W6SX 599 04 MI
TU W6SX CQ ...
CU all Saturday and Sunday. We're going to have a blast.
Diddle Exuberantly,
Hank, W6SX
