Hi Zoli,

I've been the primary 40m SSB op at KC1XX for several years.

When I'm in Search/Pounce mode here's what I do:

7.040: CQ de HA5PP listening 7.225
7.225: KC1 Xray Xray
7.040: KC1XX ur 5915
7.225: HA5PP QSL ur 5905
7.040: QSL QRZ? HA5PP listening 7.225

It's important for me to give the DX callsign so they know who I'm working, 
if several are listening on the same frequency.

I wish the DX stations who answered me when I was working split would do 
the same.  I know of several instances I was CQing and guys were calling 
someone on my Rx frequency, but it wasn't me.  The timing was sometimes 
very close, but not close enough.
