[Dx-qsl] It has surprised me.....

[W.P. (Pat) Scott]

  .....to see the several "not in log" reports by folks who worked
the OY dxpedition. (Now relax gang, I am NOT whining, just stating the
facts as I know them, no big deal!)  I worked OY7QA very cleanly and
neatly on 12 meter SSB and, to my great surprise, have NOT found any
reference to the qso in the log!  I am NOT upset, I figured I was the
only person who didn't make it in, and you get one of those if you do
much dxing at all.  I made three qsos in toto, and the 12 meter one
is the only one not accounted for.  Then I began to see a message here
and there about "not in log" problems.  This is VERY rare and is the
FIRST TIME I have had such a problem with this EXCELLENT GROUP OF
OPERATORS AND DXERS.  I know they had some bad conditions to say the
least during the dxpedition, and so I'll try to get 12 SSB on another
trip!  I made a note to Rob on my card that I had a clean SSB qso with
OY7QA and I'm sure if any qsl mgr will search the logs for me, he will.
It's just one of those mysteries of DXing that we all have to expect
to happen once in a while, I guess!  Anyway, thanks again for the great
dxpedition!
