That's one of the reasons why I keep audio records of all of my contests.
In such a situation, including when I receive a QSL card ''not in my
log'' I listen to what happened.
Then I can take a clear decision including sending the audio record of
the QSO to explain my decision.
If in no any circumstances I give such info or modify the contest log
before the contest sponsor due log date (I send my log a few hours after
the contest and never re-send it), I of course accept to modify my
station log for DX purposes if I made the mistake.
But most of the time, I have observed that people sending this kind of
request :
- had a so bad CW (mostly poor respect of timings) that it was not
possible to make the difference between their callsign and the one I
logged (in which case I consider they did not sent a correct CW mode)
- or believed they made the QSO because they copied 2 letters/number
similar to their own callsign in the callsign I actually worked.
Just a precision, even if I made the mistake, this is not a reason to
modify a contest log to avoid a penalty or a lost multiplier to the
requester, first, what is logged is logged for ever (the finished QSO by
e-mail story) and second he had to insist to correct me rather that
answering 599 ...
