Oh, yes, I understood your example. I was just pointing out that it is ALSO
possible for you to call a station when they ARE in your log. But, their
response should still be the same ... just work it and move on. You and I
are in violent agreement about that.
However, you are more generous than I am with your example above. If I call
a station that is not in my log and I get a 'QSO B4' response, I typically
will quickly move on to find another station to work. I won't even give
them ONE chance to reconsider. Again, it is a simple matter of time.
