RTTY Skimmer Server treats all CQ words listed in the Contests.ini file equally. For example, for the BARTG contest these
keywords are: CQ, TEST, BARTG, BG, QRZ. Replacing one of these keywords with another in your message will not improve the
accuracy in any way.

Good points except that RTTY contesters have been adding CQ at the end of their
CQ messages for many years now and it's more the norm now than not. I wouldn't
be against adding QRZ at the end instead of CQ. The point is that someone
tuning across a signal sees someone callsign once or twice and you don't know
if that station is calling someone or calling CQ. By placing CQ (or QRZ) at the
end, you know right away what's going and no need to wait and continue
listening (time wasted).
Since Alex has weighed in that adding an extra space at the end does will not
significantly impact the error rate, the question is now...
Does adding QRZ instead of CQ at the end of a message reduce the error rate?
