Yes I do. Not being the CW op that Tree is I miss the
entire callsign more often (I am getting better) and as
a result I find it more important to maintain the rhythm
so I just enter the the few letters I copied and hit the
<enter> key. I think it is even more important to do it
this way when you are DX because the rhythm is everything
to keeping the pile-up in order and keeping the rate up.
The same is true for ssb.
