Carl,
Yes...some ops have no kuth at all. I call 1 time & listen!
happens a lot on SSB too.
Just today...a DX station ask for the 9 station only and I bet 4 others 
kept calling.
I guess they get through that way sometimes. If I were the DX I would 
not ever acknowlege them.
It's time to go back to gentlemen (and Ladies) operation ham radio.
73,
Lee

It all depends on what you are doing.  I find it very irritating to 
hear
people continue to call while the DX station is transmitting because
they can't hear while they are transmitting.

For rag chewing, semi-breakin is fine.  That's why we have a button for 
it.
