[CQ-Contest] Sending 'test'

[DXer]

This is how I 'see' it as well. One can monitor the frequency long enough
to find out, I guess, but this speeds things up. I hope it continues to be
used, at least until I'm more experienced.

Also, as already mentioned, it may still be needed for Skimmer 'pickup'.

..but if you tune across and just hear a callsign, you don't know if that
station is calling someone or just ended a cq and is waiting for a call.
