Just because 30 or 40 people copied the same call,
doesn't mean it's the "right" call. I've listened in
awe to some stations giving their callsigns with the
same (often highly-accented) phonetics over and over. 
When pressed about a specific letter, they clarify with
different phonetics that reveal a different callsign.  

In fact, several times a contest I find myself calling
a station, getting told by him that I'm a dupe, then
hear the station use a different set of phonetics that
changes his call.  (This happens with spotted calls a
LOT.)
