As Bernie says, "Mistakes happen."
Just to re-iterate --- they DID copy my call correctly!! I heard them come back
to me with K9JWV 599! THAT's why I put in the log.
I wouldn't have logged the QSO if he came back "K9JJV 599"!!! I'd still be
there calling them!! Hi HiI'm ok with the notion it's not a valid QSO IF they
got my call wrong in the exchange, which they didn't! Them mucking up my call
entry in the log is a different matter.
72, Jim R. K9JWV
