Why would anyone need to know your call. Just slows things down. We could
suspend calls completely in contests, and think of how the scores would
increase.
"QRZ"
"FYE NYE FOE"
"FYE NYE EIGHT QRZ"
"FYE NYE SIX"
"FYE NYE EIGHT QRZ"
But wait, note the redundancy there..... Everyone says "FYE NYE" so we can
eliminate that delay also.
"QRZ"
"FOE"
"EIGHT QRZ"
"SIX"
"EIGHT QRZ"
And, oh, that "QRZ" is slowing me down. Lets do this.
"EIGHT"
"FOE"
"EIGHT"
"SIX"
...silence.....
"ZED?"
"FIE"
"EIGHT"
"FOE"
"EIGHT"
"FUM"
"Again?"

Thank you for NOT requiring both stations to ID.
When I have dozens (if not more) participants in my pile-up, who know who I
am, who have been waiting, who are hoping I will hear them next.
vs.
One impatient person who happens on the pile-up noise, may not even hear me
and wants immediate attention.
Which way am I better serving the contest frenzy? By going as fast as I can
to get everybody in the log? Or, by slowing down my CW speed, giving my
callsign between each and every QSO and having to wait while the other
station sends my call?
