"Next time, I'm going with XQSO."
I would be careful with that. Not all contest sponsors support XQSO: in
their Cabrillo file. I believe CQ allows it, but I'd verify this before
using it in any Cabrillo file.

"Okay,
thanks, Eric, for Maine." Well, two problems here: (1) I had not given him
his report yet (and never did), and (2) I never use my given name on or
off
the air - I go by "Rick." The logical conclusion here is that he had his
logger set to look up on the Internet stations he was working, and he got
my
given name AND my exchange info from a call sign database.
I don't expect to log more than a few dozen Qs in this event, but his will
not be among the ones I submit, even though it was a needed mult.
Most likely he had pre-fills preloaded.
Isn't this what "XQSO:" in Cabrillo was set up for? "I might be in the
other guys log but I don't feel it was a qualifying QSO and don't want
credit and contest organizers might want to look carefully for patterns of
this".
Not to be confused with "I walked this non-contester into a contest
exchange" which is completely legit.
I remember one prominent island station in IOTA contest who was not sending
his IOTA number. I asked several times and he wasn't giving it to anyone. I
send in my IOTA log with his IOTA left blank, send a note to the contest
manager, and even then I get dinged. It was a mistake for me to put in as a
QSO. Next time, I'm going with XQSO.
