I broke a rule. Having solicited and gotten a QSO, I ceded the freq,
like I'm supposed to do. But I had to go back in my log and fix the typing
in a few QSOs before I forgot, so I did not tune away. While I was typing,
one of my local buddies made a QSO and inherited the freq. I was so
excited to hear him (and to know that I could actually get him with one
fast call), that I forgot I was not allowed to -- I had not made a new QSO
on a different freq. (I realized my error as I was working him. As I
recall, I left the freq after the QSO.)
It appears that I can delete my credit for that QSO -- but still leave it
in the log so my buddy does not get dinged -- by simply changing some of
the logged data (nr or name).
Hi Art.
Well - in the grand scheme of things - obviously this small infraction
isn't a big deal and one can certainly understand how you reacted to the
situation.
Confession is good for the soul.
I would suggest one of two things:
1. Just log it and move on.
2. Change the name or received QSO number to something obviously wrong.
Actually - changing the received QSO number to 999 is a pretty obvious way
to make sure the QSO gets busted in your log - without impacting anything
else.
