I would eliminate sending the callsign of
the station that you are working.  Sending P40X before TU W6SX serves no
purpose in this example. P40X knows that he is working you and is just
waiting for some indication that you copied his report before spinning the
VFO.

REPLY:

I disagree. Sending the other guy's callsign can help in situations of QRM or QRN where there are two stations that both think you are working them. Often neither one of them can hear the other. It happens more than you might think. Sending only TU W6SX will cause both of them to log you but one of them will be NIL. Sending P40X TU W6SX CQ reduces the possible confusion.
