[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rule Changes

[Radio K0HB]

You might want to go stand on a chair, Dave, and read that message again, 
because it went over your head the first time.

OF COURSE it's silly!

Next time I'll bracket it with indicators.

[SILLY]

That's a rather silly extrapolation.  If I'm tuning the band and hear
somebody giving their callsign to someone else I don't need to hear it
again, and if I didn't hear it I can always ask for it. Works fine for
everyone unless the running station abuses the system.
