Scenario #2

you: K4SBZ

you: K4SBZ (or if you're adamant, MAYBE send it twice in this scenario-could be QRM, QRN etc)

you: 5NN <exchange>

In scenario #2, I busted your call but you withheld the exchange until I corrected it.  You heard your callsign come back to you. This is the most efficient way to ensure &quot;acks&quot; from both ends.

I agree, and that's what I usually do. The exception is when I know I'm working a very skilled operator, and signals are strong in which case I'll just send my call before the exchange. Then I better hear my call come back correctly.
