The signal report is a formality. Giving 59 both ways speeds things up allowing for more stations to be worked in a given amount of time. If you look at your contacts in LoTW they don't even include a signal report. It is irrelevant. And you are absolutely correct about not repeating your call sign once the dx gets it right. My two cents...

--- Heads Up Guys. When the DX gets your Call sign Right, NEVER repeat your call sign. Just say QSL, QSL, QSL.

Now to make me feel even worse... I DID already have Philippines on 40, but somehow I missed it.

--- I may try Eleven meters AM later today...

However, How is this worse than the guys who use RHR stations on a Penesia on the coast?
