I think the danger there is that I (and many others) will almost certainly 
respond after "CQ PY2NY...."   and never be heard.

We are in a contest, after all, and generally quite good at copying Morse.  If 
I'm in S&P mode on a contest weekend and hear "CQ" then that triggers the 
thought "that station is in the contest".  My "contest brain" then kicks into 
an automatic expectation "the next Morse will be his callsign and establishes 
an unthought short circuit from my eardrums to the keyboard to copy your call 
and mash the "enter" button.  Anything after "CQ PY2NY" is unexpected (if I 
don't key up quickly) and only serves to take me out of that "contest brain" 
zone.
