[RTTY] VK0EK RTTY Update

[John Barber]

Another useful method is to hit the 'print screen' button immediately after the contact, then save the picture. I do this with any contact that needs confirming even if it looks perfect. This way you have something that shows your full QSO, the previous activity, timestamps, the lot. Saving them with callsign and frequency helps e.g. FT4JA 14090.JPG as the file name.

Martin,

>Unfortunately, i beleive they got my callsign wrong.

We've probably all had this happen at least once. When I suspect that they logged my call incorrectly, I make a note in my log of the callsigns immediately before and after my contact. I have been able to successfully negotiate with QSL managers when I present the exact frequencies and times of a QSO where their logged callsign differed from mine by a character. 
Sometimes they've even made me wait a few months to see if anyone with the busted call "claimed" the QSL - but it is worth it for those rare ones.

I was able to work VK0EK last night.  The info Dom shared was very helpful.  tnx again!  Unfortunately, i beleive they got my callsign wrong.

Didn't copy FT4JA at all last on 30m.  Maybe next time.
