 most is the 2 mults I lost from the US stations worked

 work you but dont log it....any else experience this???  >>

Well, I guess I'm not giving away the farm on this one, but MANY USA types do
NOT seem to log other USA qso's AFTER they get THEIR needed zones/country.
This year on SSB, I had 5 logs (out of a group of about 30) lose a zone 3/USA
mult, ALL FROM THE SAME GUY!  What a lousy way to LOSE a mult!  I'd write 'em
a nasty letter if I were you!  If they are going to "work" you during the
contest, they have an obligation to LOG you!  I usually say, "please log me, I
need this qso for a mult."  However, I must admit that this year, even I got
STUCK on needed zone 3 qso which I KNOW was completed on BOTH ends (qrp/mono
40)!
