[Dx-qsl] An all-time first!

Ron:
Years ago when SoJo was operating from McQuarie Island as VK0SJ. He 
sent his logs to his manager via RTTY. I got my card back with a NIL, 
which was impossible because SoJo worked nearly all the time on the one 
of the 20m nets at night. The net control op was a W6 and she ran a 
fairly tight ship so to speak. I worked him there and the control op 
and others said my contact was good, so I knew something was wrong. I 
wrote back to his manager explaining the whole situation and the manager 
wrote back with a valid card and apologized that SoJo's original RTTY 
log had been scrambled in transmission.
