With all due respect David, and I mean that sincerely, What turnip truck did
you fall off of? I've been at this @50 years and I've seen whiners
everywhere pleading their case for a busted call and in the majority of
times walk away with the card. (at Dayton, at The Bash, Visalia, etc etc).
If you have a call close enough to something posted you most likely will
pull it off.
I think the recent posting, on the web, today, for KH8SI is all the info
that needs to be posted publicly. Everything after that must come from your
log.
Wayne, N7NG, got it right. In order for an award, or contest certificate, to
have any meaning/prestige it must have integrity. By the way this rule is to
protect the overwhelming majority of honest guys from a few bad apples.
With regard to some of the mean-spirited postings, on this subject, an old
English saying might apply: "Me thinkest thou protesteth to much"

STOP RIGHT THERE! How do you claim a 'busted call' to get a card?? If
your
call isn't in their log, how do you get a card???
