I would wait to check the logs or send it in anyway. Just because the pilot
station says they weren't active there then doesn't mean a lot.

Remember the tremendous cunfusion surronding the 1A0KM operation back in the
early 90's? Their initial published operation schedule showed a very limited
operation and only a couple operators. They showed up on a lot of bands at
once and a lot of people thought most of them were pirates. It turned out
the operation was more extensive than originally published and all those
QSO's were good.

Probably any further discussions should be on the DX-chat list.
