Didnt find any match with SP5ORS calling any special long call station this afternoon. He was active CQing and mostly
working EUs but none of them its <SX...> or so.

Hi Patrik,

when a complex callsign is used in a message either it or the standard one can be sent as a hash code, one of them must be. The message generation is arranged so that each call is sent not hashed at least once in a standard QSO. There is a further restriction that signal reports can only be included in a message with a complex call if the complex call is sent as a hash code.

All the examples you give above are sending 73 or RR73 rather than a report or r-report so the message generator has chosen to hash the simple callsign and send the complex callsign in full. The same applies for RRR messages. CQ and QRZ messages never hash the callsign as that would nearly always be ambiguous.

The intention is to always exchange the call in full as hash collision can and will happen so we want to ensure that the correct callsign is always copied at least once per QSO.
