[RTTY] Exchanges

[edfelter at cox.net]

After my CQ, I noticed several stations answering with their call and their contest exchange on their first transmission.  Several years ago I saw this develope in the early PSK contests, but didn't think much about it.  I spent only about 4 hours (102 Qs) in the NAQP but saw enough instances of this "new" protocol to give it some thought.  I would answer with my report but also would quickly remove the last callsign and <RXC> and hit my TU QRZ macro to hold frequency. 

Is this to be come the new and accepted protocol?  I'll change my macros according if so.  Just curious!
