[CQ-Contest] Thing that drive me nuts

[n1ix at n1ix.com]

Speaking of things that drive me nuts:

Sending an additional "TEST" at the end of a CQ.  IE "CQ TEST N1IX N1IX
TEST"

This seems to be a rather recent phenomenon.  I do mostly S&P and invariably
I send my call on top of the last "TEST". 

It would be a lot easier if everyone sent a standard "CQ" string. 

 

Also, what's with the "dit dit"  in response to a successful QSO.
