When I'm running, I want to verify two things from the calling station:

1. He's working me and not another station on the frequency that I can't 
hear.

and

2. That he has my callsign correct.

Unless the calling station sends my call at some point, how would I 
verify the above?

Here's how I like it when I'm running:

ME:    CQ TEST W6WRT W6WRT CQ
HIM:    K1XX K1XX K1XX (or only twice if condx good, never just once)
ME:    K1XX 599 <EXCH> <EXCH> K1XX
HIM:    W6WRT 599 <EXCH> <EXCH> K1XX
ME:    K1XX TU W6WRT CQ

There is some redundancy in the above, but during a busy contest when 
often there are several stations on the same frequency, some redundancy 
is a necessity, IMO. Otherwise you are likely to log the wrong station.
