When I'm lucky enough to have this problem, I do it with an R or ROGER
like this:
me: K1TTT 5n 5
K1TTT: 5n 5
me: R K1AR 5n 5
K1AR: 5n 5
me: TU KD4D
Or, on SSB, Roger. And I use "Thanks" for TU.
If I have a raging pileup, they'll learn when I say ROGER or send
R that I'm going to call someone else. I like that better than
using "TU" or THANKS whether or not sending my callsign. I think
QRZ is a waste of time since it provides no information.
