[CQ-Contest] Check in SS

[K0HB]

To give you something to copy!

The beauty of SS is that you have to actually copy something that the
computer program can't automagically figure out from your call prefix.  In
other words, you get the info over the radio, not from your computer.   As
compared to (for instance) CQWW where the ONLY thing you need to copy is
the callsign and CT (for example) fills in all the other blanks.
