REPLY:

I also like to see my call once, but not in reply to my CQ. 

Here's how I prefer it:

ME:	CQ WPX W6WRT W6WRT K
HIM:	W1AAA W1AAA
ME:	W1AAA 599 03 03 W1AAA
HIM:	W6WRT 599 05 05  W1AAA
ME:	W1AAA TI W6WRT CQ

I's clear who's calling who and we each see each other's call three
times, which should be enough. In addition, I see him send my call
once, which also should be enough. If my call is garbled I send my
call three times before continuing the exchange. When that happens I
send ONLY my call three times, nothing else. Works for me.
