[SCCC] A Question for the Gurus

[W6ph at aol.com]

This question came from the YCCC reflector.  I have often wondered how to 
nullify a QSO without incurring a penalty but still leaving it in the log so the 
other guy doesn't lose the QSO.  Does anyone have an official answer or good 
advice to pass on?                       Kurt, W6PH

I sent this to Bob K3EST, but he may be busy for awhile, so any (unofficial)
input is appreciated. I know that there are not too may Multi-singlers out
there, but still...
