Who is giving this advice? I personally dislike someone withholding the
exchange. With the exception of RTTY, if I hear someone giving their
callsign before the exchange I assume that I have it incorrect. After
copying everything I acknowledge the correct call and move on to the next
caller. When no report is sent I have to acknowledge the call and then ask
for the report again and wait for the response. Sometimes I already had the
call correct and the station thinks I do not, now it becomes really awkward.
It is a big time waster.

Hi all,
In ARRL DX CW, I called one of the ZZ80xyz stations.
He came back to me as VE3XT. Following the advice of many stations on here,
I withheld my exchange to give him the opportunity to get my call correct,
sending only my call and putting emphasis on the 4.
73, kelly
