599 TU dit dit

Today I answered a French station calling CQ and I was answered with 5NN!, I replied with a true RST report, in this case 559 and gave my name twice and passed back to the French station expecting more information. The reply I got was TU dit dit. No name, nothing. What's the point!

This extremely rude behavior is very frequent especially when you go out of Europe or North America, it's very common. They now actually resent anything more than a 5NN EE. They want to fill up their computer log with as many callsigns as possible, quantity over quality. What I now do in such situations where I'm answered with a 5NN — I remember when it happened with a 4S7 cw station, giving a nice CQ DX, so imagine my shock when I answered his call and he replied with my callsign de his callsign then no GE and no TU but instead just a high speed 5NN — I froze for a few seconds. Then, I decided not to bother replying with a report and just sent EE.
