[CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange

[AA6DX - Mark]

Yes .. I agree.  Only 2, out a (mere) 409 ... but I took time and listened, 
and they spent far more time repeating  reports than they saved by cutting 
callsign .. However, I do remember the 80s, early 70s, when major contesters 
DID NOT send that info .. but, it was easier to do when using a pencil vs. 
keyboard!  HIHI .. 73, Mark .. AA6DX -- hammin' for 47 fun filled years!
