Wrong - given that all the callers already know
your callsign (via the internet), there is no
point in IDing unless you run out of callers.
It's a contest - and faster is often better.

As for the potential callers who move on because
you're not IDing, that's their loss and, anyway,
most of them will try again later.

Did you hear about the Olympian who turned up
for the high jump carrying a pole?  He claimed
it would encourage technology evolution, and
prevent high jumping becoming a legacy event.
