What do I do about it? I call the station again and make him say my

wouldn't get away with this slack operating technique.
I'm a small pistol, ARRL DX SSB weekend it often took me 10 - 12 minutes
to finally make a QSO with some running stations (hence I concentrated
on accumulating multipliers instead of Qs alone). Anyway, I get one
chance in 40 QSOs the running station makes, so I'm never in a position
to challenge the QSO or correct the DX operator as to technique: I get
only 10 seconds in the spotlight so to speak and can't hang around for
10 more minutes hoping to get their attention again (to be no doubt told
I'm a dupe if I get acknowledged at all). The loose call exchange is a
problem, we just need a better way to correct it.
