IMO … based on years of 6M operating. Use 50.125 as a calling frequency -only-. NEVER hold a QSO, however "short", on this frequency. Typically one would say "CQ, this is XXX, listening 50.125(+), if wanting SSB QSO's or 50.125(-) or so if wanting CW QSO's. After the initial CQ, I seldom even listen to 50.125 for a reply.
Simply put, I won't be the source of QRM on the calling frequency. I'm supposedly in a rare grid and have sometimes had a "run" of several hours duration, based on just one initial call on 50.125. FWIW ... 73!
