[CQ-Contest] which contests would require me to sign AA7XT/0

[Larry]

The FCC required it prior to 1979. It was required by some contests up 
through the early 1980's and I seem to recall there was one that required it 
as late as the early 1990's. Which contests had the requirement has faded 
from my memory. I was thinking CQWW and SS had the requirement but I could 
be wrong.

If there ever was a CQWW rule that required signing /0, it predates my
move to Colorado in 1981.

I'm sure there is ---some--- contest out of the 250+ contests that
requires signing /0, but none of the major contests impose that requirement.
