9M0C hears w8.. w8.i, he looks on the list, see's W8JI then starts
asking W8JI? W8JI comes back with r..r.....rrrr.... and qso's made...
Hey why not? This band is tough enough with poor condx and QRN, etc"

Please don't take me wrong but I read your messages 3 times to make sure 
you are serious.  What you are talking about is:

guessing
ESP
(in the contesting world we sometimes call it) cheating.

For god sake how can you log a station as W8JI if all you hear is W8.i  
r.r.....rrrr....
What kind of QSO is that.
2X or 2-way is what it is - Two way communication.
Not one way + guessing + most probable call.

I do hope some of the big DXCC scores on top band are not done via this 
one way - guessing -ESP - LOGs in advance  - most probable call 
technique.
