While North American procedures are a little different, some of us have 
found that it works nicely if another station starts calling just before 
the end of the previous contact.  This was used by W1LP/MM quite a bit on 
HSCW MS several years ago also, and worked very well.

There must be enough pings that the different stations can tell what is 
being sent to whom.  But since the pings usually will not overlap, it 
shouldn't be too difficult to keep things separated if everyone will be 
careful and pay attention - but we should be doing this anyway!
