[RTTY] B4

[Al Kozakiewicz]

The very first Dutch station I tried to work - at most, 30 QSOs into the contest - did this and wouldn't work me.  Even without a log I know damn well I didn't work him at that point in the contest, and since he wasn't in my log, he'll get no credit. Glad that worked out for him!

Out of nearly 1100 QSOs, I had maybe 4 or 5 stations call me twice.  I just work 'em again and move on - what's the big deal?

Why would anyone  use  B 4

I am NOT a big contester  and  I only do S&P
I use N1MM    and IF there is a DUPE  the program  lets me know.

So when I call a station  and he tells me  B4 Yes I am in his log  but HE is NOT in my log Maybe because I did not log him when we had QSO Maybe I logged his call incorrect Or I never printed his report  and he moved on to the next station calling as some contest stations are in a hurry.
OR many other reasons

But just the same  I always send my log in  even if I only make a few QSO's

So  when I call and you tell me B4   the QSO will not count for you 
As there will  be NO match ..

SO JUST FORGET THE B4 AND WORK ME
Then u will get credit for the QSO.  

Most likely you can work me about as fast as doing the B4   tx.
