[RTTY] RTTY Skimmer

[Alex, VE3NEA]

RTTY Skimmer Server treats all CQ words listed in the Contests.ini file equally. For example, for the BARTG contest these 
keywords are: CQ, TEST, BARTG, BG, QRZ. Replacing one of these keywords with another in your message will not improve the 
accuracy in any way.

I wouldn't be against adding QRZ at the end instead of CQ. The point is that someone tuning across a signal sees someone callsign once or twice and you don't know if that station is calling someone or calling CQ. By placing CQ (or QRZ) at the end, you know right away what's going and no need to wait and continue listening (time wasted).
