All, I got a nice e-mail from Nyles, KS4S.
He actually WAS in FM13 in January of 2002. It looks like the LoTW data for
these QSO's is incorrect and he's looking at a fix. I offered to help him
configure a new TQSL profile.
Now I need to have a discussion with somebody as to why my logging program
changed data without my consent <grin>.

Subject: [FFMA] KS4S in FM13 - January 2002
I cross posted this to several VHF lists in hopes others might have the same
problem -or- KS4S might see this.
The talk about FM13 made me check my files since I had FM13 checked off.
Strangely, I couldn't find the FM13 QSO.in the log. I finally figured out that
I had worked KS4S in January 2002, backscatter during a F2 opening to EU and
also found an archived page of spots on-line, showing multiple people spotting
him from FM13. So, WHY wasn't it in my log ??
The answer ?
KS4S had uploaded the QSO to LoTW BUT with his grid set to FM04 (apparently his
home grid). My logging program sucked in this grid from LoTW and CHANGED the
log from FM13 to FM04 !
Can anybody else confirm a contact from January 6, 2002, around 1500Z with KS4S
? And, do you have it confirmed as FM13 or FM04 ?
Thanks ! !
