Beyond the gentlemen's point of a possible DXCC entry, there is no benefit
to making sure the OTHER guy has your call right. It's rare for me to find
a new RTTY country in the middle of a contest but I do appreciate that in
that one case taking time to make sure the other guy has your call right
would definitely be worth the pause.
However, the RTTY majors are about rate - most of the time. That goes for
S&P or run. It's best for you to let the other guy worry about getting his
log right. Get your end right and move on. If he does not ask for a
clarification, then it's safe to assume he has your call right - and if he
does not, you are not personally the one who will lose the busted call.

My call was slightly garbled, but I didn't call twice as I
considered that given how fast he came back to to me
as someone said eariler, it's an imperfect dance
seems like you nailed that one
I suppose what is the best balance is to only call twice if it is
unequivocally clear that the running station has my call wrong.
repeating your initial double call is probably the move
no report yet, but this is just once and then
play or move on
So if we work and I don't think he got my call correct, as Jerry
says, just work him again. If that goes well, all is fine. If in
the strange event he responds back, "QSO B4 or DUPE," then all is
still fine as that confirms that I am in his log correctly (although
I have now wasted time figuring that out).
no
you skipped making sure eariler
now you completed that
I really think that each contest is a refinement of playing the game
I'd really like to watch some of the Single Op wizards someday
as it would be educational for many times later rethinking it
back the real work now
