I assume you are talking about CW. I would agree with you that a TU, CFM, or R
should be sent. But on SSB, I think that just the call is acceptable.
Information can be conveyed with the tone of your voice, which can't be done on
CW. What I can't stand, is when you do ID after EVERY QSO and someone pops in
with "your call?" or CL? (on CW). In that case, I will ignore him and
continue with my run or CQ'ing.
