[SADXA] Fwd: ARLD013 DXCC Deletion of Kingman Reef

[Jim W]

Wes, double check the time on your computer's clock.  According to the 
time stamp on your email, you responded to my Kingman Reef message 58 
minutes before I sent it.

Depending on how your computer is set up, that one hour difference might 
affect your logging program.  If the time is off by more than a few 
minutes plus or minus, as you know LotW won't match the credits for your 
QSO records.

Or perhaps my email program (or yours) is faking me out.  :-)

73,  Jim  W9FI
