I'd appreciate some advice from the veteran contesters in
this group.
I'm a long time ham but a novice contester. I worked 421
Q's on last weekend's CQ WW CW contest. I know I'm definitely a "little pistol"
with severe antenna restrictions.
Here's my question. While operating S&P
sometimes running stations would answer with an error in my call. I'd
always send my call back twice, often at five or more WPM slower, and
usually the running station would acknowledge the error by sending back my call
correctly. I'm all set when that happens and log the contact. BUT, sometimes the
running station would not acknowledge the correction or even send it back
incorrectly again, and then go right to running the next station. What is the
conventional wisdom? To go ahead and log the contact on my side even if I still
suspect he has my call wrong in his log, not log the call, or do something
else?
Thanks a lot for your advice and I look forward to
learning much from this group and the SEDXC.
