I need to correct my earlier posting regarding my friend G3ZHL - it appears
he did take part in CQWW CW, using the CW decoder in his K3.
Here's what he said:
*Don,*
*Yes, I was active on 29th and 30th November, but just on a "dipping in"
basis to fill in band slots on CW.*
*I have logged TO7A as follows:*
*29/11/14 0048UTC 7.066 MHz*
*30/11/14 1403UTC 28.066MHz*
*The contest exchanges are obvious since TO7A was allegedly on Martinique.*
* So, you can put the other two bands down to "creative logging".*
*I may have called TO7A at other times on other bands, but if so I
obviously thought I didn't beat the pile-ups.*
*I note that the ClubLog log check for TO7A (accessed via qrz.com
<http://qrz.com/>) matches the above two QSOs, but does not show any
others. Interesting?!*
*I hope that helps. *
*73,*
*Guy G3ZHL*
My apologies for not checking before I made the post.
