I’ve got 2 calls in my log that don’t come up on QRZ or safari.
9ajaa & c8ads
I asked both for a couple of repeats and unless their Morse was consistently bad or in error
then I’m pretty certain they are correct as sent/received.
Any thoughts?
Does this happen at all?
9A1AA is a SOTA operator.
Should have gone to Specsavers, they do hearing aids too! 
9ajaa is of course 9A1AA
c8ads maybe CT7EDS
9A1AA has a consistent fist IMHO (I’m not very good, take my opinion with a pinch of salt)
Thanks 9a1aa it is. My j and 1 do look a bit similar sometimes. Perhaps you’d like to recommend handwriting lessons too.
But your suggestion for c8ads ?? As I heard him send his call several times before I was able to answer him in a pile up. If I was incorrect he never corrected me - and I don’t think my Morse is that bad!!

Always write a dash under your 1 and/or a dot over your i and that problem is solved.
EC8ADS Alfredo
Thanks Lars He was very weak so I probably didn’t note the. ‘E’,
David
Possibly Alfredo’s rig switches to TX slowly so the initial dit is very much shortened. Combine that with a slow AGC response in your rig and it would easy to miss the first dit.
I always miss calls beginning with a number the first time I hear. A kind of “hey where’s the initial alpha characters in your call?” moment that throws me.
I had a T6JS answer me last month, he repeated the same thing 3-4 times, i inquired his c/s twice with ??? and got an RRR. I really doubt i had a chaser from Afghanistan…
Hi, Maybe c8ads = EC8ADS it is chasser

Although not the best way to solve the problem that occured: some times when I had to find out a missing letter or number, I did tested the possibility of " who chased me" and found the answer! Differently I let my listening and waited for any interest from the chaser’s side.

Thanks Jose it must be him. I think a C8 is from Mozambique- and not very likely.!!
You could always enter your activation as you think you logged it, then click the “Show who chased me” feature - and then download that activation log, delete from the database, edit, and reupload.
I had the same problem today. Heard C8EDS. Asked two times for confirmation. Thank you guys!

I’m sure is @EC8ADS sending with automatic keyer and sometime he misse some letter of his call
Yes, it will be EC8ADS, I had the same thing today. The ‘E’ is missed off. PA timing maybe?
All right. Good that its not just me struggling. I will send him an email later to let him know about that problem. Looking forward to check todays log!
Reminds me of something that happened a few times during the nine years I owned a helicopter. The number was N9EP, and I would call up the tower on approach giving the usual “Oakland tower, copter niner echo pop with ATIS information”. Nine echo pop, what’s the rest of your call? “N9EP” nice and slow.
