[UK-CONTEST] SSB FD vs AA

[G0HVQ]

I'd forgotten that SSB Field Day coincided with the All Asia contest. Higher
band condx were such that most of the stations on 15m and 10m were working
AA and not FD.

 

We worked a few stations who would give out a serial number, even though
they were in AA, but some stations were calling "CQ contest" then seemed
flabbergasted/annoyed when we called them asking for a FD serial (we're not
mind-readers, how were we to know they were in AA?).

 

What's the combined wisdom of the group regarding working stations in the AA
contest during FD? Must admit we tried to keep away from the AA stations,
but a few were too tempting, will we lose points for those we worked, who
gave us their age rather than a sequential serial no?
