Sheesh, Carl!! I doubt if the ARRL desk is gonna, or even should, weigh in on
something they'd have no control over OR would have even an inkling of what
went on to cause them to question it!
First off, last time I looked, the QSL sent and received is between the sender,
in this case me, and
Like I said - mistakes happen. If the guy who made the mistake realizes he did
so and is will to correct the error that is nothing wrong with that.

Just to re-iterate --- they DID copy my call correctly!! I heard them come back
to me with K9JWV 599! THAT's why I put in the log.
I wouldn't have logged the QSO if he came back K9JJV 599!!! I'd still be
there calling them!! Hi HiI'm ok with the notion it's not
Ugh - Let me go on the record as saying I don’t like this idea and I wish this
can of worms was not opened! Thankfully US stations (and hopefully others) no

JUST received my PT0S QSL (St. Peter and St. Paul rocks) for QRP QSOs on 80 and

There is a story behind the 80 meter QSO I want to share...
The morning I worked them on 80 I had just had a quick QSO with KN7T about 10
minutes b4 PT0S came on the air.
When PT0S came on I callrd them quite
Great information JimI wish I would have done that many years ago as
I worked BS7H in 2007 on 20 CW May 5th, 2007 and the log search shows up
nothing. Apart from P5 and Eritrea this is one of three missing ones
for DXCC I need. If I had jotted down the proximate contacts I might

I learned a lesson many years ago where I showed up on a needed band as a
NIL. I have more than one callsign and if I need that band contact I will
try and work them with both callsigns now. Mistakes happen on the DX end (I
know as having been a DXpedition operator) and the contact gets mistyped
Correct Doug, Error creeps in so often with a DX-pedition and so if I
did not find my call I would start trying some Russian roulette and
plugged in K4VFZ or K4FZ instead, and bingo often there it was. Once
