One thing I've noticed a few times on the linear birds is how some stations operate as if they're still on HF. They sometimes call CQ continuously without giving another station a chance to answer.
Now, whenever I call CQ, I stop transmitting for several seconds. That way, if anyone wants to answer will have a chance without us talking over each other.

I should add that not all operators on HF are like that. Many are quite courteous but I've heard a number who won't let someone get a word in edgewise. Making a proper contact with them would be accidental.
