Myself and at least one other on the net today are primarily CW operators.
I did not copy a full call sign, I copied a couple of letters on top of
someone else's transmission.
Had I copied a callsign I would certainly have tried to pull him in
I am sure a CW call in would have worked just fine IF it had been timed
to coincide with any of the many pauses that were left between
transmissions.
