As Bernie says, "Mistakes happen." 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 a valid QSO IF they got my call wrong in the exchange, which they didn't! Them mucking up my call entry in the log is a different matter. 72, Jim R. K9JWV
