I see this happening frequently and do it occasionally.  When I send the 
other station's call, I'm usually telling him, "There are two (or three...) 
of you on top of each other and I'm calling YOU".  I don't like programming 
my S/P exchange to do this all the time, because in clear condx it wastes 
time...possible legal/contest requirements aside...and we've been through 
that....

Hope everybody had fun at Dayton.  Stayed home to see KB9JIZ run at the 
state track meet.  Dayton can wait....
