[CQ-Contest] Worked B4 - a new twist!

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I had an interesting "worked before" encounter in CQ WPX Phone and don't know
if this has been discussed anywhere.

I operated assisted, so was able to get spots of needed prefixes.

I called some 3-land station above 7200 and he said "Worked before".  I said
"No". He told me it was my QSO #271.  I said I worked 5D5A at that time. 5D5A
must have been using the same QSX frequency (or something close to the
3-lander) and both thought they had worked me, based on timing, etc.

Two thoughts arose:

1.  Why didn't the guy just work me without the argument?
    We both would have saved time.

2.  I should have read 5D5A his call, or the QSO # he sent me, so that the
    3-lander knew I wasn't working him.

Something to keep in mind when working split.
