That's an interesting problem. From the DX side, I think they would prefer that you count the QSO and stay out of the way so others can get through. You're "In The Log".  That said, if it bothers you then go ahead and make that "insurance QSO". They won't black list you or even ignore you. As in a contest, it's far better to work a dupe than argue about it.

Where things get liddie is when you make a QSO, then immediately join the pileup again for another one .. and again .. and again. At T33A I had one Italian work me three times in about 10 minutes and then tried for a fourth. I had to call him out publicly .. then he quit. Now that's LID operating.

Now you have a dilemma  . . . . . . 
   
The VP8SGI log says that you did work them!

But you did not have a 2-way communication [I can verify that because I heard the whole thing]   or did you??

Another contact will be a dupe from their perspective, and they could, I guess, ignore your call, thinking you are a DX'ing lid.

Good luck!

I heard him clearly work N6ZFO.  Just before that,
I had a burst of noise for about 5 minutes.
He may have called me during that, or else
the spotlight just didn't stay here long enough.
I was using 1500W to a vertical.  It's helpful
to get these reports.  Maybe tomorrow...

At 0332Z here in Kelseyville Lake Co I could just hear them .  an

At 0530Z,  a  few dB stronger; I even called them just a couple times.

At 0648, sunrise, S-5 on peaks on the Eu Beverage.

Amazingly, I worked VP8SGI at 0652 with 150 w to my inverted L.
(Rick, he called N6RK three times. .  apparently w/ no answer. . hope
you got him!).

An amusing story:  Looking back in my log, found my QSO with VP8ORK on
160m  on Feb 3, 2011 at 0650. . 5 years ago to the minute!!!).

    My logging program shows South Georgia sunrise at just before 0700Z.
    Are you saying SR is actually around 0500Z, or that peaking is 2
    hours before SR?  In any event, I am hearing nothing here on 1826.5
    as of 0415Z.  They aren't very strong on 80 meters, although I can
    hear them.

        Just above ESP here, take a listen.  It bodes well for the peak
