Never worked a 2B8, 2E at the most.

was 3B8 in the Indian Ocean?


Did you compare your QSO date/time with spots on the cluster?

I'm pretty convinced you worked 3B8CF.


He probably did, but he also probably copied the call correctly.
I have worked many guys whom I have copied as 2 or 3 different calls.
Sometimes a fellow gets in a hurry, even with a machine-it got recorded
wrong and they keep sending it.

Especially if they are using a bug...they run the letters together a
lot it seems.

(Oh, oh, I am in trouble now)

Bottom line, if you send a mistake, fix it.
