Jan 26 at 17:27 comment added henryflower There is no "starting over". A DX operator will continue to listen until he / his RTTY decoder picks out a complete callsign. When this takes longer than expected the issue is usually not that "they got nothing" but rather that they "got too much". It is best practise, of course, to keep transmissions short in order not to miss a reply. In practise, though, overlap happens sometimes. At least with a split rx/tx freq. it is less of a nuisance to others; and the DX op will start his reply as soon as he picked out a complete callsign, he is not going to wait until everyone finishes calling.

Jan 26 at 0:17 comment added gschro I was wondering that if the DX operator doesn't respond right away, that it means they got nothing and are more-or-less starting over. What I don't want to do is transmit too long and possibly miss the response. I also wonder what kind of RTTY decoder they typically use, and whether they can decode all RTTY signals in the audio band in parallel.
