Since it is *not* a required part of the exchange in SS, I only send the CQers
callsign back when I think there may be some doubt in who
I'm sending to. Several times when S&Ping on 20 there were multiple stations
"sharing" the same frequency and I would
send HISCALL+EXCH. But on 80, and most of the time on 40, when I replied to
someone's CQ there was no doubt who I
was answering.
When I was running on on 40 or 80 and others sent back my call, I felt it was
just wasting my time
- to quote KH6IJ: "I already know my call." In log checking, odds are if he
blows my call he gets the busted call penalty, not me.
In a DX contest, lot more freq "sharing" going on and I can see it more but not
so much in SS.
