[3830] IARU Apology for QRM to OA4O from VE7FO

After trying to work OA4O on 40 CW with no luck I decided to move up the 
band a little and call CQ.  To my horror I found I was actually CQing 
right on OA4O's frequency.  Please accept my apologies for any QRM I may 
have caused you while you were trying to work him.  I sent him a note of 
apology which I have copied below which explains what happened.

So, no, I wasn't deliberately QRMing him and you out of spite because I 
couldn't get through.

I know 3830 isn't a discussion list but don't know any other way to get 
this apology out.

Hello,

During IARU at about 1000Z I heard OA4O on 40 cw.  I called a few times 
but you didn't hear me.  I moved up a few kHz to call CQ on VFO A while 
listening to you on VFO B.  After CQing for a few minutes I realized I 
was transmitting on VFO B which means I was CQing on your frequency. 
This was not intentional and I stopped as soon as I realized what was 
happening.  Please accept my apologies for any problems my poor 
operating may have caused you.

I was pleased to work you later on.

73 and I hope you did well.

de Jim Smith    VE7FO
