What is the purpose of publicly listing everyone that miscopied your
callsign?  This is a contest where a station has a limited time to put as
many stations in their log as possible. While we all try an copy as
accurately as possible, there are risks that you have to take by not
confirming every bit of information when running at a high rate of speed. 
On CW dits just sometimes disappear and I am sure that many of these
operators did not get your call wrong from a bad packet spot. For example,
8P5A (who was not assisted) made over 7,000 QSO's and he made a mistake
copying W1VE.  Tom is a fantastic operator who just missed the dit, what
is the big deal?

I just read my LCR review for CQWW CW.  I was one of those who always sent
my call every time.
I took time out of pileups to correct the caller when they sent my call
wrong.

Unfortunately, My friend Dennis, W1UE, has a call only one dit away from
mine.  The results are as follows:

My bet is that many of these people were convinced by a bad packet
spot that I was W1UE, even thought I sent my call EVERY time.  See the
bunch from 1912z - 1959?   That had to be a bad spot.

So, people, you have to copy the on-the-air CW!   And, despite the
controversy, you have to send your call often.


73, Gerry W1VE -- see ya in ARRL DX CW next weekend.
