I never liked this practice in CW. Seems I would always copy the CQ
and miss the guy's call. I also don't like the "CQ NA AA4LR NA" for
the same reason.

I had a couple of guys do this to me. Waste of time. Most of the
time, when I'd ask for a repeat, it was because of some temporal
problem: QRM, QSB, etc.
Just send the exchange again. If I didn't get it, I'll ask for
another repeat. At some point, you just have too much redundancy.

You don't usually need this one if you are calling CQ (!).
