Personally I dont do it, but if you tune across and just hear a
callsign, you don't know if that station is calling someone or just
ended a cq and is waiting for a call.

Hello all
Thanks to everyone who worked GM2V in CQ WW CW – the world’s #1 CW contest!
I was puzzled as to why many stations waste time by still sending ‘CQ <callsign>
Test’ i.e. the stock macro from most of the contest software writers.
It’s a major contest weekend, many stations are using contest callsigns, the CW portions of
the contest bands are full of signals, so ‘Test’ seems completely redundant to me.
No-one would try to have a rag-chew on CW during CQ WW CW, or am I wrong?
