[CQ-Contest] Contest Exchange

[Igor Sokolov]

Hi Pete and all,
Being on the S&P side I would rather hear

N4ZR N4ZR test
instead of
CQ TEST N4ZR TEST

For me  to know your call sign is more important then the word TEST given 
twice :)
And please please no /QRP  This is not part of the call.

73, Igor UA9CDC
