REPLY:

I have a different take on that.

Which is best:

S55O TU W6WRT CQ
or
TU S55O W6WRT CQ

I vote for the first one because it helps avoid confusion. Often under 
QRM and QRN situations there will be two stations who both think they are
working me. If they hear the TU first, they are likely to log me 
immediately and QSY. If I was actually working the other station, that's an
NIL.
