Is it me or is the issue with DX signing their call sign once every 1-3 minutes (sometimes more!) getting extremely frustrating?  The worst example was a station in the Africa region who decided to run split on 15M and informed callers of their callsign and RX frequency every 1-3 minutes causing a pileup of callers on their TX frequency and a swath of stations sending 'Up', 'Up', 'Up'.  Seriously, not everyone relies on packet spots and it would be great if the DX could sign their call every 4-5 q's.  This is where bogus spots on the cluster cause major problems as I'm sure that those who simply point and shoot to a spotted mult work 'em and move on before actually hearing the station's call.  Help!
