A very frequent problem here in Europe is that we *can* hear the DX

sending "UP UP UP", "IDIOT", etc, etc.

Yeah, unfortunately that's why my suggestion was mostly tongue-in-cheek.

Of course, it's one thing for you to hear "...YY 5NN" and believe you're
in order to call. It's something entirely different to call after
hearing "...5JT 5NN"! (certainly in my original post the example lids
were completely & totally off-base!)

especially by DXpeditions that only give their own callsign once every
20 or 30 QSOs!

Yeah, for a few minutes the other day I thought I was listening to UPAA
on 40 meters - maybe some kind of Russian special-events station?

Nope, it was a DXpedition that wanted callers 11KHz above his transmit
frequency...
