I learned a lesson many years ago where I showed up on a needed band as a
NIL. I have more than one callsign and if I need that band contact I will
try and work them with both callsigns now. Mistakes happen on the DX end (I
know as having been a DXpedition operator) and the contact gets mistyped or
accidentally deleted. Simply insurance.

Great information Jim....I wish I would have done that many years ago as
I worked BS7H in 2007 on 20 CW May 5th, 2007 and the log search shows up
nothing. Apart from P5 and Eritrea this is one of three missing ones
for DXCC I need. If I had jotted down the proximate contacts I might
have been able to have received some help. I know KV4FZ is in the log
somewhere but how can I ever get help finding it. I all goes to prove
that when working rare DX-peditions there are no rewards by poor record
keeping. There hasn't been another operation to Scarborough Reef in
nearly a decade and probably won't be for a long time especially with
the political battle over disputed islands in the South China Sea.
