This is true, but I always begin and end a tuning or test transmission
with "N3OX TESTING" in fast CW.

It will make those who hear your 1W loud and clear happier. They'll
know someone is running tests instead of just sitting on their key.

Does the HF community tolerate occasional non-ID'ed transmissions for
essential testing????

It's not a matter of what we tolerate. It is a matter of FCC rules. Even
a
test transmission (including tune-up) must conclude with an ID. So you
tune, then ID.

Got it. Thanks to all who responded.
