This comes up on the cq-contest reflector from time to time. One way to think
of it is that the RST is in effect a start pulse, saying "contest exchange is
coming next". It really helps a lot in CW and SSB contests, especially under
marginal conditions, but maybe not as much in RTTY contests.
I vote for keeping the RST, meaningful or not.
