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...
