[CQ-Contest] Signal report

[Jan Erik Holm]

Seems like many are concerned about not wasting
time.
Not to waist time people send cut numbers, doesn´t
give callsign for every QSO etc.
People doesn´t like to send signal report or zone,
and so on and so on.
Hey why ever bother turning on your equipment in the
first place, you will just waist time.
Not to waist any time lets stay of the air everybody.

Seriously, if we aren´t going to send signal report
and zone in CQWW, what are we going to send?
