Good Morning Tree,
As I read your synopsis, whether the W8 was working you or not, the
more fundamental problem is that YOU never got an acknowledgement
that he received your exchange correctly. If he "had just sent my
call once," you would have known he was trying to work you, but you
still wouldn't know if you had a completed QSO. If it were my log,
he'd get a NIL.
