The very first Dutch station I tried to work - at most, 30 QSOs into the
contest - did this and wouldn't work me. Even without a log I know damn well I
didn't work him at that point in the contest, and since he wasn't in my log,
he'll get no credit. Glad that worked out for him!
Out of nearly 1100 QSOs, I had maybe 4 or 5 stations call me twice. I just
work 'em again and move on - what's the big deal?

Subject: [RTTY] B4
Why would anyone use B 4
I am NOT a big contester and I only do S&P
I use N1MM and IF there is a DUPE the program lets me know.
So when I call a station and he tells me B4 Yes I am in his log but HE is
NOT in my log Maybe because I did not log him when we had QSO Maybe I logged
his call incorrect Or I never printed his report and he moved on to the next
station calling as some contest stations are in a hurry.
OR many other reasons
But just the same I always send my log in even if I only make a few QSO's
So when I call and you tell me B4 the QSO will not count for you
As there will be NO match ..
SO JUST FORGET THE B4 AND WORK ME
Then u will get credit for the QSO.
Most likely you can work me about as fast as doing the B4 tx.
