[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rule Changes

[Ivo Pezer E73A/9A3A]

Hi Jukka

I think Mario was referring to something else: most contest QSOs actually do 
not include full exchange (STN 1 de STN 2, RST....). In case when STN 2 is 
responding to STN 1 who is running pile up, you usually only get STN 2 
callsingn. If he/she for whatever reason did not get STN 1 call correct, 
this is in most cases unknown to STN 2, who rarely sends you your own 
callsign, yet you get penalized for his error.

Being one of those who increases the speed as the pile up grows, I share 
Mario's concerns. If I ID every time, whoever is not sure of my call can 
either ask me to repeat it or listen to the next QSO(s) and validate if he 
copied it correctly.
