I understand. And I know it's frustrating.
But it's one thing to wait (as frustrating as it is) on a "rare" Zone 23
station. Odds are pretty good he knows he has the zone to himself and can do
things his own way.
OTOH, a M/M Caribbean station... and I can think of 2 or three offhand that I
heard doing this... why would you work them 2 or 3 or 4 times without first
knowing what their call is? It's not like propagation will suddenly fail from
the US to C6A or PJ2 or PJ4 or KP2 or VP5 or... they'll still be there a few
minutes later.

Hi Ron
True, but if someone is sending '5nn23', I'd sure like to know who it is.
If they are sending '5nn13', I'd probably not be all that excited and move
on. 73

"If you don't know who they are, don't call them.
If, as a S&P station, you don't want to wait for an ID, move on to work
someone else."
