[SECC] Possible Busted Call Advice

I'd appreciate some advice from the veteran contesters in this group. 

I'm a long time ham but a novice contester. I worked 421 Q's on last weekend's 
CQ WW CW contest. I know I'm definitely a "little pistol" with  severe antenna 
restrictions. 

Here's my question. While operating S&P sometimes running stations would answer 
with an error in my call. I'd always send my call back twice, often at five or 
more WPM slower, and usually the running station would acknowledge the error by 
sending back my call correctly. I'm all set when that happens and log the 
contact. BUT, sometimes the running station would not acknowledge the 
correction or even send it back incorrectly again, and then go right to running 
the next station. What is the conventional wisdom? To go ahead and log the 
contact on my side even if I still suspect he has my call wrong in his log, not 
log the call, or do something else?

Thanks a lot for your advice and I look forward to learning much from this 
group and the SEDXC.

73,
