I agree with Ken. The 4O3T operator on 10 meters the other day called
"N0O", I went back to him right away with my call again. Guess what?
In the time that it took me to give my call again, he was giving somebody
else a 59. I think they need to be more persistent. As you can imagine
the smile left my face.

I disagree with Linda. When the dx op calls a partial call, then s/he must
keep trying until s/he works the station. This is the only way to control
the pileup. The pileup needs to understand that continuing to call out of
turn will only slow down the qso rate because no other station than the
partial call will be worked.

From Linda KA1ZD:
Often I catch part or even one letter of a call and try that person only
to have no response or at least be unable to hear the response so I go on
to whatever signal I can copy at that point. There's not much point to
screaming "shut up" to all the other stations calling out of turn and it
would be a waste of time.
