I had only a couple of people toss out their last-two during the contest.
In those few cases and where there was only the one station calling, I said
"qrz?".
After about four or five go-rounds with them (don't they ever get a
clue????), I would finally say "Use the callsign issued you by your
regulating authority"....
silence...
then the full callsign.
In one case, the yl was clearly miffed, but she gave me her exchange
nonetheless.
