OK, here's another hypothetical....

Supposing I want to optimize my transmission for maximum CW skimmer spot 
potential as well as Qso's, is there a "best" call to make?

CQ TEST W4KAZ W4KAZ

-or-

TEST W4KAZ W4KAZ

Pushing my luck, is

TEST W4KAZ

more or less likely to be caught and spotted by a skimmer...

I generally tend towards the "cq test call call", since with low 
power/poor antennas there is more dead space between Q's, but being 
picked up by more skimmers probably would get me more spots and Q's with 
the spot punchers.
