Excellent point. When this happens to me, I decide based on signal
strength both ways. If he is loud and clear and did not ask for a
repeat, I take it as acknowledged. If it's been rough with several
repeats, I assume no contact and either call him again or give it up.
The "QRZ only" happens a lot in Sweepstakes, it seems. Maybe because
it's US/Can only and sigs are good on the average.
Anyway, works for me.
