I am an adamant supporter of never using QSO B4, just rework the station and move on... up until last weekend... now there's a slight crack in my adamancy! I liked that our stride was not broken but appending "B4" to his serial number gave me the chance to catch my mistake. I wish I had wrote down his call sign... I don't remember who it was.

The difference here is that you noticed you mistyped the call and had it wrong.

My instance was in the 10 meter contest this weekend when a ZL station gave me QSO B4 and there was nothing in my log even close to his call. W7WHO was also in the contest so it could be that his SCP pulled that call out or something. Cost me a Q and a mult. Now he'll get a NIL. Luckily I worked another ZL later for the mult. 73

I had an interesting exchange on 10m CW this past weekend. I was in S&P mode and came across a station, typed in his call, and sent my call. He came back with his next serial number but appended "B4" at the end. Sure enough, I had mistyped his call sign so it did not show up as a dupe in my logger. I sent "R SRI" and I got back an "E E". I went on my way with only a few seconds lost to my typo. Obviously that was a seasoned operator on the other end and this worked out well.
