Carl,
Yes...some ops have no kuth at all. I call 1 time & listen!
happens a lot on SSB too.
Just today...a DX station ask for the 9 station only and I bet 4 others kept calling. I guess they get through that way sometimes. If I were the DX I would not ever acknowlege them.
It's time to go back to gentlemen (and Ladies) operation ham radio.
73,
Lee

It all depends on what you are doing. I find it very irritating to hear
people continue to call while the DX station is transmitting because
they can't hear while they are transmitting.

For rag chewing, semi-breakin is fine. That's why we have a button for it.

I for one hate QSK..
It is very iritating to hear RX noise between chars&  words.
I use good old fashioned semi_break in.

At the risk of being labeled a "lid" - is there a handy explanation of
how this QSK thing works, in practice, and how one uses it in daily
life?

I am going through a Code Course and looking to add CW to the mix...
and
I have this mental image of concentrating on sending code, and
becoming
annoyed with someone trying to bust in and interrupt my flow, by
keying
over me.   I guess if I am calling CQ, it would help me know someone
was
returning the call, but why does he not wait until I listen for him?

Now... I am sure that is a mistaken or ignorant outlook, but I do not
know WHY not !  (I have some ideas about all this, but I would rather
trade on fact than mere supposition... you KNOW what happens when you
assume something... eh?)

I don't mind reading up if there is a good explanation, but the ARRL
Operating Handbook left me cold, and so did my license training
guides.

Anybody know a source of good info on good CW operating practice, in
general, and the best use of QSK, in particular ?

FWIW, I get about 60wpm on my Orion and still enough unmuting between
characters to just tell that someone is on frequency.
