JUST received my PT0S QSL (St. Peter and St. Paul rocks) for QRP QSOs on 80 and
40 CW!
There is a story behind the 80 meter QSO I want to share...
The morning I worked them on 80 I had just had a quick QSO with KN7T about 10
minutes b4 PT0S came on the air.
When PT0S came on I callrd them quite a bit. Then, KN7T worked them and I
worked them right after him AND I wrote that info in my log...that KN7T worked
them just before me.
I then went to 40 meters and worked them as well.
When I checked their online log I saw the 40 meter QSO but no 80 meter!! I was
bummed....I sent an e-mail later to one of the team pilots - he checked the log
and replied, "no K9JWV in the log."
A month ago I was checking through my log and noticed that "discrepancy" and
though I'd try again. I e-mailed the QSL manager (fella in Hungary) and one of
the team leads (fella in AZ). I went through what happened and told them about
KN7T working them just b4 me. They checked, confirmed the KN7T QSO AND found
an entry right after with K9JJV!!!! They realized the op had made an error and
sent me a card for both QSOs!!!
So.................for those rare ones where you may have only oneor two
QSOs...try to keep track of who worked them just prior to OR right
after...could make the difference between having the QSL card or not!
By the bye: the Operator at the time, a PY fella, sent me an e-mail apologizing
for the error...nice of him!
