Perhaps.  But I (my computer) was calling one of the expeditions a night or two 
ago on FT8 F/H when I decided that I needed another beer.  I walked out to the 
kitchen and when I came back I had "worked" him.
I have on occasion quit calling a station only to have them active my 
transmitter and move me to their frequency and complete the contact.
