Hello All,
  I read an email from a 160 mtr operator who said:

" I spun up the band and heard "WZ DX K" and some USA guys calling.  
I dumped my call and the station came back and gave me a 579.  I 
responded - still not sure who I was working.  Then they finally sent 
their call "OK1Axx". By the time they got to the xx the QSB had taken 
his signal into the noise."  

  I've always thought it good practice to know the call of the 
station you are trying to call before you call. Am I mistaken?
