Why wouldn't you just QSZ? That's the time-tested method of getting Morse through during weak/fading sig cdx. <unquote>
Believe me, repetition of the call signs is done in the extreme in EME. Each time, the listener tries to keep track of what he *thinks* he heard and eventually builds up a best guess at the call sign. I typically send my call 6 times twice over in an exchange. One thing that is usually NOT done is sending slowly (QRS). This is because the fading punches holes in the middle of long characters. A "J" becomes "A" "T" for example. So you send around 15 WPM, trying to get a whole character through between fades. It becomes important to know if you have heard two characters, or one with a hole in the middle. Hence the use of exaggerated character spacing (a.k.a. Farnsworth).
