[Dx-qsl] An all-time first!

Thu Jan 18 20:10:52 EST 2007

Reminds me of the VP6DI operation when I got a NIL from VE3HO.. My Log 
has the right time, QRG but the online log says KA2DZS...
KA2DZS is a Novice Op who could not operate on 12 Meters at that time! 
Garth said to resubmit in a few months and he would issue a
qsl but with reflecting that the log entry was NOT KA2BZS but KA2DZS 
What one Dit can do ;-) 73, Ron
