I'm one of the guys who would prefer callers didn't send my callsign at
the beginning of the exchange when I'm running. They get the insurance
against a busted call but I pay the premium in the form of lost time and
potentially lost contacts. I rarely heard unanswered callers stick
around for more than a couple of QSOs. Maybe they come back later ...
maybe not.
