With a little cooperation, the rates stay high and everyone can be happy:
If I'm CQing, when called by North American stations, I'll just send MORK CA
but if its a European, or I guess its a DMC player, then I'll send 599 001
MORK CA
K6UFO: CQ K6UFO CQ
LZ3HI: LZ3HI
K6UFO: LZ3HI 599 001 MORK CA
LZ3HI: TU 599 078 EMIL
K6UFO: TU K6UFO CQ
It works in the other way, too. When a European is called by a NA station,
the European should please include a NAME, e.g.,
LZ3HI: K6UFO 599 078 EMIL
Otherwise we'll have to waste time sending NAME? and NUMBER? back and forth.
