QSO's made under that style are not valid. You should confirm to the other
station his call sign if it is not read properly the first time, letting him to
assure the correction.

This unfair bad pratice is heard very often. Those op are most new contesters. 
But sometimes are well known guys who are not DEQ by the contest committee 
in spite of denunciations.

Let's see another usual situation:

"DX0DX... contest"
(W6 garbled...)
"W6XYZ 59 kilowatt"
(roger its W6XXZ 59 Cal)
"X  thanks   DX0DX..contest"

DX0DX only says the corrected letter "X" instead of the full call or full 
suffix at least.
Is this guy playing fair ?
