4W6AL : I worked a pirate, but the good one the day after !!!

Hi all,

Following my previous QSO with the supposed "4W6AL" during the WAE contest, I wanted to check the on-line log to be sureI was in this ALL TIME NEW ONE log.
But on the 12th of September evening (my QSO was at around 12:20TU), I was not in the log......

I sent an email to his manager who replied VERY quickly informing me that 4W6AL only worked 4 stations on 20SSB, without participating in the contest (the guy I talked to gave me a contest number...)

I worked a FAKE !!!!!!!!!

I was very dissapointed, and decided to take another chance on the 13th (Sunday afternoon). He was barely readable here, without too much takers. This was certainly due to the QRM generated by the contest.
I called a couple of times, and made the QSO.

My fear was that I worked a pirate again. But after checking 13th of Sept on-line log, I was really in his log. Ouf, this one was now sure !!!!!!

I'd like to thank his manager, CT1GFK, for his very quick answer (to avoid dupes !), as well as for the everyday update of his on-line log. This is a very useful tool to avoid making dupes with this rare entity.
