[CQ-Contest] SS SSB And Your Callsign In The Exchange

[Tyler Stewart]

With the long exchange, it's a big help to S&P'ers to have the call in the
exchange so they can tell who's frequency it really is, make sure it wasn't
a busted spot, and/or figure out if a QSO is just starting or almost
finished(if you are unlimited).  The rules don't say you have to use
phonetics, so you can do your auctioneer impression when you say the call
portion.  It might help you get spotted more often as well.  If you want to
really blow the average SS participants mind, you make the callsign move to
the end of the exchange if it's your run frequency...  DDDOOOOHHHH!

Not sure, but not during this contest but a RTTY contest within the last
month, someone sent me a report of 577 so  I put that in as the the report.

As for repeating the call in the report, it does seem unnecessary. I read
other emails in this thread and it seems to be just based on tradition.
During this weekends contest, the only thing it was useful for was when I
tuned a specific freq and could catch the report before the originating CQ
to see who was the op on the freq.

There was someone else in the thread that indicated the callsign was part of
the report in the cabrillo file but I don't think that is correct, or at
least no represented that way. The report doesn't contain the call sign. The
QSO record does, but it does so even if it wasn't part of the report. My 3
cents.

Which is to say, has any one ever had a call busted because s/he had a
"wrong" 599 or a exchange callsign that wasn't the log callsign? 8^)
