I have to add that nobody ever understands when I use 'c' for 'yes'. When a dx station 
struggles and finally gets my call right, if I respond with 'c' he usually tries 
additional (wrong) permutations of my call!

What works is "r r r r", even though strictly speaking 'r' means 'I received all OK' or 
'understood'.
