It happened to me this week-end during my run at IR4M: we have been spotted
with a wrong call and DUPES quickly started to arrive. Even if we always
give the "TU IR4M" at the end of each Qso, when i've noticed the busted spot
i've done an extra job repeating over and over the call, but dupes continued
for at least 10 more minutes...
They are not an issue, we have the previous QSO giving the points. But what
about the fresh calls who have us in the log with the wrong call... ?
Giving more often the call *should* help, but still there are people who
blindly trust the DX Cluster and don't listen to your call at all.

This is correct. Finding another frequency is almost impossible but there's
another way to help solve the problem... Give your callsign more often and
don't rely on the cluster to do it for you. Anyone hearing you will know who
you are in short order. Let the cluster drag people to your frequency but
make sure they can verify who you are.
