This was 1984.
No, I should have been more precise.
SOME of the qso's with A4 stations had normal looking callsigns entered into the log.
But some had callsigns entered as A4XIZ/GFT.
Usually there would be a couple of A4xxx/GFT calls in a row as if it was a net, but not
always.
I just couldn't figure out what the GFT signified.

And of course as these went to LoTW, it will have to be exactly the same or a match will
not be recognized.
