There are a very few that are really good at that sort of thing (I wish that I
could do it). I can usually tell if the station is one those kind of operators.
But most do not distinguish that scenario and so will call and call and ....
RTTY can do the “NOW W7AAA ...” scenario because you can often see multiple
calls on the screen and the logger can line them up for you.
(W7AAA was arbitrary so apologies to him/her for using the call.)

Larry, it happened to me several times during the contest that I coppied two or
even three calls at once. I answered to one (usually stronger one) and
continued with second one, OK2QX TU W3PP 5NN A5. Not neccessary that W7AAA (in
case you mentioned) called in in the course of QSO. Maybe DX station coppied
both calls (LU5DX, W7AAA) at once...

I suspect people do it because it can work.
I have heard DX stations lecture the pile about not calling while working
someone. So then a QSO ends "LU5DX TU W7AAA 599.." which means the DX station
was copying other calls. Thus, one could conclude that I should call during the
QSO so the DX station will hear my call and call me next. But the other
stations listening often figure out the scheme and call too. Chaos. Of course,
if it was "LU5DX TU YU5DX 599..." I can understand in that you both have very
similar calls. It is not usually that close.
I don't think I have heard as belligerent case as your DL8 over the DK5. Many
stations will easily cave and work the DL8 and the poor DK5 may not get worked
after all. Once working the DL8 after having called the DK5 then it can
degenerate into a calling mess. (After all, how can you not hear me? I am 599
and clear in my headphones!) It can be hard sticking to what you call because
it can kill your rate but there are ops that do it (I forget who but there were
at least a couple heard this past weekend - a 5H and 5R I think). Trying to
regroup if I heard DK5 and it wasn't actually DK5 can be interesting because
that can open up the calling again.

Super weird things happened. Compulsive calling is spreading like a decease!
But not only that. There is now bullying calling.
In the middle of an unruly pile up some DK5 called in. I copied his full
call at once and came back to him with ENNA2.
There was this other DL8 also calling and he simply continued to call after
I came back to the DK5.
He was so strong I was not able to copy the exchange being sent by the DK5.
No ony that. The DL8 said I'm not DK5... I'm DL8.....
So no way out but to stop the pile and asked the DL8 why he was that LID!!
And he insisted I'm not DK5... And I said. I know you are not, I'm working
someone else and I'm not working you for sure, so please QSY.
Really bad operating manners were mostly shown by countries from certain
countries, but now, it's pandemic!
Just as in 2012. I had to wait long on big egos to ID (some of them
repeating their techniques from last year).
Anyways lots of fun as usual.
I wonder if the WWROF will take a more proactive approach on all these
topics.
Best 73.

And of course, we all remember a well know US amateur working in Kuwait,
who was known to answer partial calls (and other liddish behavior) with
"you're in the log" instead of a signal report.
So, someone who called (and called and called ) "FOUR LIMA) and sent a
card to that station's manager as "W4LID" would be told... he's not in the
log. The log showed '4L' but not 'W4LID'
(apologies to the real W4LID, if any, I simply used that call as an
example)

Been there; done that. During the CQ 160 SSB 'test I operated as VP6DX from
Ducie Atoll in February of 2008 there were two prominent "Big Guns" who
never made it in the log because of their inability to follow instructions
and kept calling, calling, calling while I was trying to get another call
sign correct. This went on for HOURS.
Sad, but true.

.... CUT ....
If i ever had the chance to be at the other end, I'd make a
list of lid's like this, and make sure they never get worked.
But Just my own opinion.
