[CQ-Contest] SS exchange

[Dick Dievendorff]

Nope.  The FCC wants you to send YOUR call at the end of a QSO.  I don't
know of any FCC requirement to ever send the other guys' call.

Sometimes I communicate (when responding to ? for example) with people who
never send their call.

I believe the intent of this rule is so that an FCC monitor can determine
who is sending by listening for at most 10 minutes.  They aren't
particularly concerned about who I am sending to.
