[RTTY] B4 - another angle to it

[pcooper]

Hi all,

There is another angle to this B4 message:

I have been on both sides of this issue, and this is my take on why it is sometimes necessary to re-work a station.

For example, in CQWW last weekend, Writelog highlighted only part of the call, such as E7/YT3H. I had clicked on the call, and worked, YT3H, but then realised my mistake and corrected it.
If I had not done so, I may have later seen the FULL call, and tried to work him again.

On the other side, I had someone call me during a busy time, but later realised he had sent GU0SUV instead of my proper call. He could easily have tried to work GU0SUP later, but I caught it in time and managed to get him to correct my call.
Sometimes, when you get a call wrong when running a pile-up, the caller can't always get you to notice his correction.

There were also lots of calls new to me in this contest, some of which were probably contest calls being used by experienced RTTY ops, but some were clearly new to the game, and weren't sure of the way things go, and a few made a mess of the exchanges, but hopefully they learned during the time they spent in the contest.
