[Dx-qsl] Rcvd: PJ2T and...

[Ron Notarius]

Thanks to all who've replied so far.

Almost universal opinion has been for me to contact DJ4KW via email and
explain the situation.  So I'm going to give that a try, and then see how to
proceed.

I was a little leery of this... I had a situation a few years ago where I
worked a Russian Antarctic station on 17, but his manager QSL'd me for 20.
Turned out that the error was the Russian's, he'd forgotten to indicate the
band change in his log (which I could demonstrate thanks to a download of DX
Summit spots), and the manager offered to send me a corrected card via the
buro (unless I could send him another SAE & 2GS!).  I'm still waiting for
that card...

Hope this turns out better!

Well, it was an interesting pair of letters waiting for me today.

First the good news:

PJ2T via N9AG (ARRL DX CW 05), 4 week turn around.

Now, the puzzlement:

DJ4KW returned my request for a V31YN card as NIL.  He even included a log
extract to prove it.

And sure enough, at the time I thought I worked him, he worked someone else.
But two minutes before, his log shows WN3VA.  This proves three things:
(a)    my clock was off;
(b)    he busted my call;
(c)    he didn't notice the busted call in the log extract he sent with the
returned card.

So, I'm not sure what to do now.  First instinct is to send everything back
and point out the busted call in his log, and hope he corrects it (as WN3VA
has not, nor has it ever been, issued).  OTOH, if he chooses to stick to the
letter of the log, I'll be out another $4 in stamps, envelopes, and GS's.
(And I checked my log, I did note that he had trouble copying my call... or
at least acknowledging that I have a long and slightly unusual one, which is
another story and let's not go there)

Thoughts on what to do?
