Very true; this is one reason why I prefer QSK over semi-breakin.

I do not recommend sending "TEST" at the end of a CQ or TU message.  It
makes the entire pileup start calling at exactly the same time, making it
harder to pick out desirable prefixes.  And if you have a slow PTT tail or
CW VOX delay set too long, you will certainly miss the first letter.
