Mike,
There is an answer in your letter - sometimes it is hard to copy your own call
from DX station when here is a number of never-ending callers. I was in this
situation not a single time when I can copy part of my call but not sure do the
DX station copy my call 100% correct. So I was back with my call and number...
Sorry...

While in J6 I noticed that many of the European operators felt that they
needed to send their callsign back even though it was copied correctly
on our end. This area also felt if necessary to send our callsign in
many cases. Is there some reason that this is done? This was rarely
encountered working the US or other areas.
I can understand sending the call again if I have busted it but sending
it again is unnecessary and made us wonder if we had been copying the
calls wrong. We operated split most of the time so it was not a case of
not hearing their call.
We also noticed that this same area was also most prolific in trying to
brute force contacts by continuous calling and what I would deem as
other rude behavior. I recall having issue back in the 80's with people
calling out of turn but it seems far worse today with people ignoring
the wishes of the DX.
The above was most noted outside the contest period so maybe this post
might be better served on a DX list.
