[CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange

[Tom Osborne]

Hi George

If they didn't send their call in the exchange, I just deleted the Q as it 
was invalid.

I don't know what else to do because when running, you send their call, then 
your exchange.  It would be redundant to send 'Call?' if you have already 
sent it.

Maybe there needs to be a Q signal for 'You sent your exchange wrong.'  73

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?
