Heck, Tom. It's worse than that
When the DX says "W7WHY 599K", there are a dozen or more of stations (some
with familiar callsigns) throwing out their callsign while you are trying to
respond -- and most of those calling had stopped when the DX made his call
to you, so it wasn't a case of 'oh. I didn't hear him."
