For someone you think you have worked before... Unless it is SS with its very
long exchange...JUST WORK THEM AGAIN!!
PLEASE follow John's advice below. I had this happen to me in the ARRL 160 this
past weekend. I had just gotten on the air and was working my 3rd contact, a
well-known W8. He
Send "QSO B4". I replied NO. He then took the time to say "You got my call
wrong" instead of just sending 5NN MI ! As it turns out, I expect he was the
one who got MY call wrong as K4NC
was also active in the contest. It would have saved him a lot of time to have
just worked me and moved on. If he had refused to work me and I had moved on,
that first contact as well as
a missed QSO with me would have been a NIL.

That is unsportsmanlike conduct. Lets say we work early in the contest and I
log you incorrectly as VA2EA, Later I call VA2EW and you won't work me.
You get credit for the previous contact and I don't. It would have been just as
easy to give me a report the second time. QSO B4 is not one of my macros.

It is after that bad experience that I have decided to systematically refuse
the QSO's B4.
After all, if my callsign is busted in the other guy log, I do not lose the
points but he lose the points and if he answers ''NO'' when I send QSO
B4 then I will work him without discussion.
Interested by your opinion on that point.
