That's one of the reasons, why I am sending two spaces in front
of every important message. To often some CQ-ing stations came
back to me with one of this three combinations:
KVN 599-99-99
DKVN 599-99-99
K3VN 599-99-99
and when I called again, then I have received one of this combination:
KVN 599-99-99 DK3VN or KVN DK3VN 599-99-99
DKVN 599-99-99 DK3VN or DKVN DK3VN 599-99-99
K3VN 599-99-99 DK3VN or K3VN DK3VN 599-99-99
Always they had my call correct, at the very first time!
BTW: Very often, when I am CQ-ing, I am sending my exchange with the
call of the calling station two times, before and after my exchange,
like:
AA6TY 599-99-99 AA6TY
