How to use coyote vocalizations?

So I'm kinda new to predator hunting and am pretty familiar with the distress sounds but not to the coyote vocals and I have a few questions about it. Do you play the vocals continually or play then wait? Do you mix sounds in a sequence like female howl straight to female whimper then female sore howl or just play the one?
 
I open my stand with a non threatening howl, and then go to a distress of sorts. My approach is to say hello a I'm over here, where are you. Then I will use a distress to give them another reason to come to the party. Then in breeding season I mix in a little female whimper. I always use pup distress on every stand 2 or 3 times since my primary targets are coyotes. Don't over due the howling, but I normally always have some kind of distress playing to keep them focused on my set up. I have had good success with letting pup distress play for 5 minuses or so and couple times in each stand.
 
If you do a locator call then they answer back does one need to answer them again or should a guy wait then try something else??
 
I've called many coyotes in with nothing but repeated howling, never ever been barked at. Much like a continuous squealing rabbit, which doesn't really make since in my mind, repeated howling also doesn't make since but it works.
Another thing that in my mind shouldn't work, is having single coyotes come to a serenade, but I've had that happen several times too.
Been many MANY years ago that I witnessed a single coyote howl over and over and over again only to eventually have another coyote come to it. From that day forward I knew that howling can and will call coyotes.
And I'm not saying I turn on my favorite howl and let it run until they show, but I will howl several times and then spread it out and not get into a pattern, but howl repeatedly. Once I see one coming I then only howl if it checks up, and usually a howl or two will get it started coming again. Done it many times.
