Topband: Don't give up AND log who worked the DX b4 and after!

[Bernie McClenny, W3UR]

Like I said - mistakes happen.  If the guy who made the mistake realizes he did so and is will to correct the error that is nothing wrong with that.

Yes we have club calls, but thankfully those QSOs will not count for ones personal DXCC records.  I’ve been on DXpeditions and had guys download all their calls on me (on each band and band mode!), taking away the opportunity for other Deserving DXers to get into the log.  Yes I realize sometimes the DXpedition or DX operator makes a mistake and I have been burned once or twice over the years, not at the fault of my own but by the other guy in the QSO.  I much prefer K9JWV’s method by noting in my log the previous or next QSO.
