one can catch the call sign one letter at a time if need be.

Yep, especially in this contest one can!

Please call anyway. Send "QRS PSE" if you feel it's necessary. Many of
us ultra-high-speed folks will happily slow down for an extra QSO,
especially on Sunday afternoon!

If I need to ask, I do. But since I'm not in to "win" or run up big scores,
I'd rather use it as an opportunity to get used to hearing higher speeds.
The CQ WW is good for that as the exchange is short and it's usually only
the call sign that's a little tricky as the other information (RST and zone)
are easy to anticipate and verify.
