[CQ-Contest] RULES ARE RULES

[Dallas Carter]

It's the rules!  Actually, SS exchange simulates the heading of an ARRL
radiogram.  It was instituted as a training vehicle for traffic handlers.
It's all part of the tradition.
Number (of message)
Precedencel (message precendence, ie priority, routine etc.)
Call (message originator)
Check (group count of message text)
Section (place of origin)

It all has a purpose.
