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 guess I see several possible ways to dispose of these cards, some more
ethical than others:

- Forward them to Jim.

- Return them to the sender with a note "Sorry, I've never operated from
Bonaire".

- Return them to the sender with a note "Sorry, I've never operated from
Bonaire - I think you worked someone else with a similar callsign." - but
not tell them what that similar callsign is.

- Return them to the sender with a note "Sorry, I've never operated from
Bonaire - " and tell them who I think they worked.


Personally I think this is the best one. It's what I would do and would
want others to do if I miscopied a calll. Kind of like the Goldern Rule:
Do unto others as you would have the do unto you. The next best thing is
forwarding them to Jim except that it might not be him either. So you
really should return them to the sender.
