Agreed, the RST is a waste of airtime - replace it with something
unique, I say.  There are tests that include time and names, just to
spice things up, and there should be more.

I'm always amused at the folks who have some kind of FRIENDS file or
whatever that has me as N9UWY from my time in Illinois when I was
N5UWY/9.  It was wrong then and "wrong-er" now!  But no amount of
repeating my call will get them to fix it.  Fine, they lose the
points, not me.

N5UW also has many RTTY QSOs as well, and probably in LOTW ... and as
far as I know, he's pretty much a CW man.  :-)
