When I'm running, I want to verify two things from the calling station:
1. He's working me and not another station on the frequency that I can't
hear.
and
2. That he has my callsign correct.
Unless the calling station sends my call at some point, how would I
verify the above?
Here's how I like it when I'm running:
ME: CQ TEST W6WRT W6WRT CQ
HIM: K1XX K1XX K1XX (or only twice if condx good, never just once)
ME: K1XX 599 <EXCH> <EXCH> K1XX
HIM: W6WRT 599 <EXCH> <EXCH> K1XX
ME: K1XX TU W6WRT CQ
There is some redundancy in the above, but during a busy contest when
often there are several stations on the same frequency, some redundancy
is a necessity, IMO. Otherwise you are likely to log the wrong station.
