I don't know about other ops but in my case, especially on the last day,
when I see my exchange number roll back across the screen it causes my
already fragile brain cell to freak out. RTTY contesting is a team
sport where the exchanges are pretty well nailed down and for good
reason. And resending a guys serial number, etc is not part of how to
properly play the game.
If you want to do your own thing, the world is definitely short of RTTY
rag chewers on the bands. Absent contest and dxpedition activity, it's
hard to find a RTTY signal on the bands in the middle of the week...

Ah, yes...sending me back my number. First time I've ever seen [QSL:

weird...and a waste of time and characters.

/Amen to that. An even bugger waste of time is to send MYCALL DE
HISCALL when replying to my CQ. I know my call, just sent yours
please!!
There may be times when sending MYCALL is useful but I can't recall
when it would be. :-)
