On 500 kc and the HF CW maritime bands, if I made the final transmission, it was the OTHER station who would initiate the Dit-Dit and I would then respond back to him:

Maritime bands:

Me: 3ZRS DE NMO TU SU

Other station: EE

Me: EE

This seems the correct use of Dit-Dit.

But on the ham bands, this is what I hear:

Other station: KH6O DE KH2PZ TU SU EE

To which I'm supposed to send: EE

This seems odd to me -- as on the maritime bands, I feel I should have initiated the Dit-Dit, not the signing station.

Ok, so slight difference -- it shouldn't bother me, right? But It does show another prosign difference between those code operators who got paid, and those who don't.
