Ok trying to contact on 17 meters, 20:16, Now granted you want to make as many contacts as possible but rattling 5 to 10??? this is becoming more and More frequent are you listening 5 up or 10 up??.
This very poor operating practice is getting out of hand!!!.
You need to do one or the other and let people know.
Ok hope ya had fun off the soap box.
Be safe.
