[CQ-Contest] Frustration this weekend.....

[Barry]

I usually call the guy, then before giving a report, send CALL?  It 
usually works.  Once in a while I'll get a TU.  if he logged me, without 
me sending a report and without me knowing his call, he'll be dinged 3 
QSOs for his "efficient operating" as there's nothing in my log.
