I had one of those beginner "light bulb" moments for me during the XE contest. This was the first contest in which I've operated that accuracy was very important; if you logged a QSO incorrectly, you

Agreed! Dont hold my time hostage because you THINK I have your call wrong. Just because I have sent it to you wrong, doesn't mean I haven't corrected the log after I have logged the contact. Band co
In most contests you do not loose points if the other station incorrectly copies your callsign. Personally I do not like when someone holds the report hostage. On most modes sending your call twice b
Thanks for the advice all....this clarifies things for me. I think I phrased my not giving my report unless I had a high degree of confidence the running station had my report a little poorly. I didn

Actually, you should always send a callsign correction. Some of the CQ contests are requiring this now in the rules, in reaction to some entrants who clean their log post-contest by using outside dat
A quick question, Jim. . . If you worked P5AA and he sent your call wrong, what would you do? 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN And I haven't wasted time sending corrections back and forth. 73 Jim W7RY Jim, But
