Since the FCC has few monitors who can copy CW any more, they are pretty unconcerned how we ID. Thus our procedures change to meet our own needs. Is someone giving away Maserati's? I'll show upand shout my name too; why else would I be in the pileup? Properly, this requires a "DE" before the call, but I only need one of those after ten minutes -- and what the eye (ear) don't see (hear) the heart (Engineer) won't grieve (miss). FWIW, while the FCC may have given up on CW, the *FBI* had openings for CW ops two or three years ago.
