That is a very good strategy.  Doesn't take a lot of time and we always know 
who you are.

On the other hand, there are some that say "QSL tu de x0xxx qrz test'. That 
gets just as frustrating as not knowing the call.

It needs to be played by ear.  I'm no big gun by any means, but once in a 
while I do get a run going and I'll use the 'esc' key for a few Q's just to 
send 'tu' and stop sending, and wait for the next call.  Never more than 2 
or 3 though.  I think ZD8Z has the right idea - call only!  73
