This is a great example.

You send SP6LL to this guy.

He tries to correct you.

You dont hear it.

You keep trying to get a correction of his call.

You never send his correct call - so QRM or not there
is no way he could have ever have heard his corect callsign come from you.

He gives up and leaves the frequency.

If the SP6 in your example logs this attempt at a contact he 
should lose credit for this QSO.

He never heard you send his callsign.
He should not log this contact.

You didn't work him - you never got his callsign.

Why do you want to log contacts that are not correct?
