[CQ-Contest] WWDIGI Contest Testing...

To clarify, the TU in 4. is only superfluous because the confirmation (of
receipt of report) is implied by the fact that W1AW probably wouldn't be
sending his report if he hadn't received NC6K's report.  IOW, don't conclude
that two-way confirmation is not good practice.  Confirmation just may be
achieved indirectly.  Still, many top contesters explicitly include a TU or
R with their S&P report.  It's friendly, clear and doesn't reduce rate
enough to affect OOF (Order Of Finish).

In the CW exchange, TU is superfluous in 4. In 5, QRZ is superfluous in 
most contest applications. It's only good use in contesting is to ask 
someone whose call you didn't copy to call again.
