I concur, as a QRP station I'm usually in the S&P mode so don't
always know if thats the way the operator works the pileup or if he just
lost me. I sure don't want to fool around trying to get heard again if
I've already got through once, especially if its a new mult. It doesn't
take that long to R, TU or whatever and it sure reduces the confusion.
