I wish it were the case the people were verifying spots but if that were the case, I would have to feel like I was the only one saying "what's your call?' or CL?? many times as I hear a dozen stations come on and work a station not signing. You can tell that many were not in the original pile-up but are just pointing and clicking. There is no way they would know the call except for the spot.
In my estimation, WELL over 50% of the point and click crowd does not verify the call before moving on. If they did, they would not be willing to wait there for 10 calls without identifying station.
