Nodir, Obviously I haven't seen the UBN reports but I'm going to guess the difference is due to busted calls/reports/deductions, etc, etc. Fortunately beyond just making the Qs one must copy and log

You should be penalized because you didn't verify that they had your call correctly. Typo's into the log will never work out right with the penalty rule, but the idea is that each contact is an accur
There is an unknown here which I would have no control over. The op at the other end may very well have copied my call correctly but typed it wrong. I've done it myself. I did it on Field Day this ye

In the specific examples you cite, you will not e penalized for their mistakes. The log checking software will line up the QSOs despite a single letter being incorrect, and will only penalize the sta
Huh! How do you verify if they typed it correctly? They may even say your call correctly but type it wrong. I've frequently had guys say my call wrong but when I correct them they say that's what the
Al, You (and WN0L) are not quite correct. In his example, if the other station logged him as KN0L, WN0L will get credit for the QSO. If the call is off by one character, but otherwise is correct in t
I was distressed when looking through the PJ2T UBN for a CQWW CW to find that we lost two P4 QSOs on 160 meters when the operator typed the letter "O" (Oh) instead of the digit "0" (zero) in the "P40
Actually, from looking at my UBN's, I do not recall being penalized for the other guy missing my call. I see a few N1RR vs. my N1UR and I still have credit for the Q because it is close, at the same

Thank you for replies. I will see D4B UBN to have clear picture for future referense. Regards, Nodir Tursoon-Zadeh, EY8MM http://www.qsl.net/ey8mm _______________________________________________ CQ-C
You are exactly right, Al. I am relatively new to this sport, but when the DX station doesn't repeat my call properly, and calls QRZ, I will stay on frequency and hammer him/her unil I hear my call p

Why would he say QRZ if he has your call wrong? Do you give him a report even though he came back to and said your callsign incorrectly? You should not give him a report. If you give him a report you
I don't quite agree that you should always demand for you call repetition. For example: TEST ES5TV N1IK IK 5NN A5 N1IK 5NN 5 TU In that case I clearly say that I have got your call and I am sure abt
Yeah, that's right. Now that I think about it, I started to do that mostly as I got a little more savvy. It's when I send my correct call, twice, and my exchange, to try to be quick, and the DX stati
