Not if used where it belongs - between the called station callsign and
the calling station callsign or between CQ, QRZ, TEST, etc. and the
calling station's callsign.  This "save milliseconds at all costs" BS

If used where it belongs, CQ DE, QRZ DE, or TEST DE unambiguously shows
the following callsign is *running* on that frequency.
