  When I am in  RUN-CQ mode, I always reply with (Hiscall) exch. (Hiscall)
  because If there are many callers, QRM, it is important to confirm to 
   whom I have sent the exchange. ex: Hiscall 599 001 001 Hiscall
  Then, I confirm with (TU Hiscall de MYCALL CQ)  Why send it again...
  Already sent twice...

    I agree with Bill the CALL TU helps me make sure I have the QSO, as I have been caught a few times. This a little slower but I believe it improves my log accuracy overall.

    >Another comment..... after the exchange it helps band sweepers if you send TU N6PE or QSL N6PE instead of N6PE TU or N6PE QSL because they can move as soon as they see the T or the Q

    REPLY:

    I do it as N6PE TU because often there will be two stations, both of whom think
    they worked me. If I do the TU first, they will both be gone, but only one is
    really in the log. Sending the call sign first gives them both a look at who I
    really logged.
