To make a long story short, the string of dots is waste of time. The longer 
the string is, the more time is wasted for the both parties.

Normally the "CQ DX" means a call to stations in other continents. It is 
strictly followed at least in Europe. If a European station calls CQ DX, the 
operator is pretty sure, he will not be called by another European. 
Unfortunatelly the CQ DX call is pretty meaningless in NA.
