Re: [CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rule Changes

That's a rather silly extrapolation.  If I'm tuning the band and hear 
somebody giving their callsign to someone else I don't need to hear it 
again, and if I didn't hear it I can always ask for it. Works fine for 
everyone unless the running station abuses the system.
