Now in My MIND this was not a valid QSO,, the information was NOT all done on the radio, never mind he had the call wrong. BUT even if he did work WP3T, he did not know he did it it took YOU and YOUR station to let him know it. so even if the call he thought he copied was right I would nev

I don't think the issue is whether or not you use a recorder, packet/psk31/rtty ops are not penalised because they have a computer record of the contact by virtue of the technology used for that mode. If a voice recorder is part of your shack, that's fine. The issue is having to ask others if

Of course you can blame that on the op, the same as if the batteries in his radio die or he doesn't pay his electricity bill. It's all part of preparing your station for the intended job. You wouldn't phone your mate and ask him to complete your contact because your radio failed. You'd fix it a
