[RTTY] Answering QSL's

[George K3GP]

Hi Tom,

I compare all incoming QSLs to my computerized log - I import all 
contest QSOs into my logging program post contest to facilitate this 
process.

Like others, I receive occasional cards for contest QSOs not in log that 
appear to be caused by the other chap believing that my exchange to 
someone else was meant for him.

I return all NIL cards to the originating station.

I had never thought of offering the chap a sked to make a good QSO - 
that is a splendid idea that I will try in the future.

Several times I have received QSLs with incorrect information - for 
instance, I worked the chap on 20 meters and his card indicates the 
contact was on 15. Although I am not above making errors myself, I 
usually find that my log indicates that at the time I was in the middle 
of a CQ run on the same frequency so I am confident my log information 
is correct in which case I make a QSL for the correct band and return 
the errant QSL to the sender with a note to this effect.

One of my pet peeves are repeat band/mode QSLs from the same station 
contest after contest. I will respond to second requests for the same 
band/mode (in case the first card was lost or damaged) but tend to 
ignore more than that unless it is a direct QSL with return postage.
