[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Your Call?

[Ken Low]

... And yes - I know the callsign is part of the exchange in the Sprint.   That's not the point.    

The point is 'Dit Dit' is a commonly accepted way of acknowledging confirmation of a QSO, just like 'TU' is, or 'TU KE3X'.   Over 48 hours, sending less characters saves time.

The decision of how often I identify is a function of my rate and the rules of the contest.    It doesn't matter what I choose to use as a confirmation.
