I think we have to be careful, that innocent regular users of 160M for non-DX
and non-PT0S-DX, don't get swept up as "calling PT0S". Especially with the DX
sometimes listening UP through a broad swath of the band... and other times
listening DOWN through a different swath... we don't know who they're listening
too.
(Then there's the DX that says they're listening up when really listening
down!) There are other stations in the world, we all can remember :-)

I am sufficiently disgusted with behavior in the pileups tonight and
last night to observe that some using VE3XB repeatedly called PT0S when
PT0S was repeatedly calling NN6L. Since VE3 is about 2,000 miles closer
to PT0S than I am, and because he was calling over, and over, and over,
I'd say it's likely that he would have been copying PT0S at least as
well as I was, and I had no trouble telling that PT0S was calling NN6L.
Only one example.
