Once delayed is a smart way to beat a pileup.
Calling twice is deliberate QRM.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] repeating callsign - what the heck?
Consider this Mike:
You call "CQ TEST" (in one form or another).
5 dozen people who haven't worked you all call you back immediately.
1 person sends their call either a second time right after the pileup... or
once, delayed.
Now, what call are you likely to notice first?

I've done the ARRL DX CW many times. (and do most of the majors;

Is some institution in EU (or some popular EU logging software) instructing
EU's to call you with their callsign twice?
(or if I am running, they'll again put their callsign in their message when
they come back to me yet one more time?
I am hesitant to even complain (make note of is more like it) as they made
up 86.6% of my log this weekend (TU EU!!) but this weekend more than ever
before in my decades on the bands did I have (what seemed like) every 8th or
9th caller doing this at times(maybe more at times). I ran anywhere from
34wpm to 40wpm (mostly 38wpm) this weekend and especially on the high bands
I was coming back to the loudest guy just as soon as they had sent their
callsign ONCE. Occasionally when my rig was just going into TX, I'd catch
part of a CW character telling me they had sent their call again. No
response (I doubled with them)
Thank goodness for the "=" key in N1MMLogger+ (repeats last message sent) I
about wore it out.
Thoughts?
