I don't know what some operarators think, but I have seen this many, many 
times.

I'm calling CQ TEST and the normal answer is like:

CQ TEST de XE1EE XE1EE
DE XX1XXX
I answer: XX1XX 599 001 001 TU
.. that's the normal behavior, but often I see this:

CQ TEST de XE1EE XE1EE
de XX1XX 599 123 123 123 tu 73

This guy is sending his report before I confirmed I have listened and sent 
my report. Have anyone experienced this?
