[CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange

[Robert Brandon]

I'll offer a possible explanation . . .

I did a very quick setup of N1MM at my home station to make a few Qs on
Sunday afternoon.  I kept getting people asking for my check.  After a few
more QSOs, I realized that my callsign wasn't being sent.  (I just used the
default setup with just {Exch} in memory.)

I am throwing this out there for comment.
 
In SS, I worked a number of ops who did not send their callsign  as part of 
the exchange.  I found this to be very frustrating  for several reasons, 
namely (1) sending the callsign as part of the  "required exchange" is 
specified in the SS rules, (2) it breaks  the rhythm when copying the
exchange, and 
finally (3) it gives the op an  advantage by not taking time to send his 
callsign.
 
Question: Should there be a penalty for not sending the callsign as part of 
 the required exchange?
