So, someone with a callsign similar to mine* has been operating from
various Caribbean QTHs on and off for quite a few years.

As you might guess, I occasionally get QSL cards for Caribbean
operations. Wish I'd spent February on Bonaire, but I was freezing up
here in Tennessee...

I've been doing #1, but on further thought that really doesn't make much
sense either. What do you think?

PJ2 = Curacao. PJ4 = Bonaire.

(it'd be a lot easier to keep 'em straight if they'd do PJ1=Aruba (I
guess P41 these days), PJ2=Bonaire, PJ3=Curacao. Keep 'em in order!)

Return the card in the SASE, (or in the SAE if sufficient postage
money or IRC is included) if there is one, with the note that you
don't operate from Curacao.

If they mis-copied the callsign, they don't have a valid QSO. No
point in sending it the Jim. He'll just do the same, and one of you
is out postage. If you return it in the SASE, neither of you is
spending his own money to return the card.

Yeah, that's what I've been beginning to think.

If there is no SASE, throw out the card.

Then, next year, come down and join us!

Now that would really throw a spanner in the works -- PJ2/WI9WI and
PJ2/W9WI on at the same time??!!
