[CQ-Contest] RBN Spots?

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hi Al:

I just use "TEST KD4D KD4D" and use escape to skip the second callsign if the rate is decent.  Works fine with the skimmer.  "CQ TEST" is longer and unnecessary....

Get on sometime, monitor the RBN, and send "TEST K0AD" a few times.  You will be skimmed!  :-)

73,

Mark, KD4D

Pete;
 
I want to make sure I understand this correctly (seriously).
 
My practice is call CQ as follows:
 
CQ TEST K0AD
 
My QRZ is simply:
 
TU K0AD
 
Am I likely to still be stopped by the RBN?  I would like to minimize  
using my call sign twice or ending with TEST.  However, if that is keeping  me 
from being spotted, I may need to change that.
 
Of course, many of my CQs are unanswered so the "CQ TEST K0AD" is sent  
multiple times with a several second delay between CQs.
 
Let me know.
 
73,
 
Al, K0AD

So long  as you have at least two repetitionsof the CQ key-words (CQ, 
TEST, FD, UP1  at least) and two repetitions of your call, you'll be 
heard and spotted,  with the proviso that if you stay on the same 
frequency, any given node  will only spot you every ten minutes plus the 
time it takes to hear you  after the ten minutes is up.  minimum QSY is ~ 
500 Hz. DE and K are  not necessary.
