I completely agree from the perspective of penalties. Lately I have taken to purposely not working stations where there is the possibility of working the wrong station or miscopy. The penalty imposed by organizers is greater than the missed Q. I ascribe to the system Tree suggests:
CQ K6XT
N6TR
N6TR report
K6XT report
TU (test or call or whatever)

The only time penalty is my QSO partner sending my call once. Then we both know who has been worked. Completely resolves the nearly colocated CQer and off frequency replier issues.

Actually what Ken sends me is:

me: CQ TEST N6RK N6RK

Ken:  N6RK N6RO

me:  N6RO 5NN SV

ken:  5NN EB

or sometimes:  5NN EB KB:-)

Ken's extremely strong signal tips me off as to who is
calling, so I am used to this by now.
