[CQ-Contest] Contest Exchange

[Mark Bailey]

Hi Pete;

The most important thing in the CQ is your call. I think you should send it twice. I don't think you should send test twice and CQ TEST is redundant! :-)

I also don't think the S&P station needs to send TU.

Thanks for the QSO in the CQ 160!

73,

Mark, KD4D
