That is incorrect. Section 97.119 of Part 97 states: (a) Each
amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must
transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end
of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a
communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of the
transmissions from the station known to those receiving the
transmissions.
And I agree with Jay's method, that's what I use, and that's what most
hams use during a contest.
