On Thursday I received an email from the WPX committee encouraging me to submit my log
from the 2024 WPX phone contest. Apparently based on other submitted logs they know
which stations were active and encourage them to submit a log for log checking or just
as a friendly reminder. This reminder was for the P40A callsign which I use in Aruba
however I did not participate at all in this year’s contest from anywhere. My
good friend P43A was very active on 15m and he was apparently mis-spotted once. I am
certain that Jean-Pierre correctly said his callsign but some stations just logged
what was spotted. I am not sure how many stations logged his callsign incorrectly but
it was enough for the committee to send me the notice below: This is just a reminder
to not rely on spots for callsign data as they are sometimes not accurate!
