Strange QSO

I just had a strange sequence of events occur on 40m CW.

I called CQ on 7.030 MHz. No one came back right away, but after monitoring for a minute I heard K9CGD call CQ. So, I answered his call. Well, as soon as I finished calling him, AA1LL calls me.

I asked AA1LL to stand by and then called K9CGD, who unfortunately either disappeared or had not heard me. I then called AA1LL again, but in the meantime, he disappeared.

Then, I hear XE3HRP calling CQ. I returned his call and had a nice QSO. It’s too bad we couldn’t have all worked the Mexican station.

That is strange. I’ve never had a QSO like that before. My age is 13 and I haven’t had any strange QSOs. Yet. I appreciate your website.

Thanks for the non QSO. This happens sometimes but only recently due to the internet have people been aware of it. The question is, does one send a QSL card for a NON QSO? Or does one make up a separate NON-QSL card for them.

73, Paul, AA1LL

Well, I got you in the log, Paul, and I do count it as a QSO. :)
