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

[Paul J. Piercey]

I agree.

Why is this such a huge issue. It says in the rules that the call must be
given in the exchange so why can't this just be accepted? It's simply worded
and very concise.. the way rules should be.

Much ado about nothing.
