There must be some misunderstanding. DXpeditions and contesters do not expect to hear their own callsign.
Normal CW contest QSO is: CQ DX1DX ME1ME (calling him WITHOUT giving his call) ME1ME 599 (he has to give my call so I know I am accepted) 599 TU N1XT 599 next QSO starts with implicit R OK for my QSO If this is not valid QSO, then 99% of contest CW/SSB QSOs are not valid, and probably 70% of DXCC challenge QSOs. Even on normal long QSOs I usually call without giving his call: CQ CQ CQ HE1HE HE1HE HE1HE + K ME1ME ME1ME ME1ME DE HE1HE = TNX FR CALL DR OC etc .... All these are valid QSOs, as well us all three FT4 QSOs below. Same story, same rules. Best 73, GL Iztok, S52D Paul Kube wrote: 1.
