[CQ-Contest] Logging question

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Jukka,

Not having seen the text of the original emails exchanged, it is impossible
to know if you did or didn't say something wrong.

That said...

You logged what you copied.  
- If you didn't copy the calls in question correctly, for whatever reason,
then the QSO wasn't valid and shouldn't be confirmed.  
- If you did copy the call(s) in question correctly, then there's more going
on here beyond a mere LotW entry.

(And, of course, there are many reasons why a call isn't copied correctly,
including sending errors by the other station, unintentional or adjacent
channel QRM/overload, and so forth.  No intention of placing blame on any of
the parties concerned -- stuff happens.  And months after the fact, who
knows?)

So, IMHO, it's one thing for someone to ask you to check your log because
there may have been a data entry or data upload error.  But, if you uploaded
what you logged, then that's that.  

And, again IMHO, it is totally inappropriate for the other station to start
slinging insults or calling names.  

So did you do the right thing?  In a word:  Yup.

Did the other station?  Nope.

Don't sweat the small stuff.  This happens; so it goes.

73, ron w3wn

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Logging question

Fellow contesters,

I got a request over email to change two of my recent logs.
There was a 2by3 call sign asking me to change my log so he would get my
LoTW confirmation for two QSOs.
A third QSO was OK in our logs and 2by3 call was happy about that.

My response was the QSOs happen over the air on the radio.
Not on internet on email over internet, not at all after the contest.

The 2by3 call was devastated that I had insulted him that I interprete he
would try to make a QSO on the email. All he was asking me was to change my
log .. on email and that happens now, some months after the contest.

The 2by3 call was calling me by some names and was insulting.


Can anyone tell me if I did anything right in my communication over email
to the 2by3 callsign that the contest is over and my log will stay as it
was logged when the contest was happening ?

Or is there a possibility I did the right thing?


I would have been happy to log him correctly, if he had corrected his call
to me ..


73,
Jukka OH6LI
