If I didn't get it correct, I will ask for fill-in, if I say "P40A" that
means: "TU, QRZ next?" (Better than: "TU, QRZ?" only.)

me: P40A
you: Whiskey Lima 7 Echo
me: WL7E 59 9
you: 59 1
me: P40A
etc.

or

me: P40A
you: Whiskey Lima 7 Echo
me: WL7B 59 9
you: WL7 Echo 59 1
me: WL7E  Thanks P40A
etc.

This when in the heat of the "never ending pileup" pileup, when things get
