I run CT with "CORRECT" turned on, so this generally won't 
happen.  However, when I heard CT send the TU QRZ without repeating the 
changed call, I quickly aborted the transmission in progress, sent the 
call, then TU QRZ again.  Yes, it messed up my rhythm, BUT better to get 
the QSO in hand RIGHT, rather than waiting for the two in the bushes who 
may never call (apologies to Ben Franklin, Poor Richard and anyone else I 
forgot).
