Hello OMs,
I was spotted today with wrong call.
Sorry, but it was me, John, DL/OE7PHI/p on DL/MF-115 14Mc SSB
There are often mistakes, because of our very similar callsigns.
OE 7 HPI is Holger, my friend
OE 7 PHI is me, John
So please listen carefully, if you hear an OE7 call on SOTA activation.
But never mind, just peanuts, Hi

Hello John, my fault and I apologise. I actually wrote everything down right with my pencil and screwed up with the spot. I also manage to do the same sometimes with some SV calls so you are not alone ;-). I will correct my log. Thanks for the summit.

Does not matter, Mike. Can always happen in a hurry.
So I myself mixted names etc. Hi.
Good signal from you 2day, hope to hear you from another summit
Thanks, bye

Hello John, thank you for your forgiving me 
In activators logs I am sometimes recorded as G0 but at the time they repeated my call correctly as G6. ??
Yes you were very good signal as well. I only give true reports! At this end about 70-75W PEP to my SteppIR vertical which I was very worried about because of the high winds here in East Sussex. There was also a lot of snow. I live on a hill and there were big drifts.
I know that when we spoke you were getting wet so I hope you are nice and dry now.
Best wishes

That’s a common transcription error caused by rain, cold, wind, sodden paper and thick gloves.
You want to see some of my logs!
There’s plenty of room for errors to creep in between 0 O D 6 P and Q!

Hello Pete,
“…That’s a common transcription error caused by rain, cold, wind, sodden paper and thick gloves.”
Yes I know. All has ended well.
Then there are the logs that become kites and fly away 
Snow seems to have stopped here is East Sussex and now the freeze. All antennas seem to have survived the 60MPH wind gusts!

with you two always helps me a “mnemonic”
HPI = Holger (the first letter in the suffix H, as Holger)

I often have the same problem, John. For more than 50 years, people have been calling me “G3NNY”!
G3NNY is my friend John from Luton. He receives a lot of QSL cards meant for me.

In reply to G3NYY:
I suppose that’s the problem when you share a (similar) callsign with someone well known.
G3WGV and G3WVG probably have the same problems.

Or myself with George GM4COK. In the early days when we were both very active on VHF Aurora CW contacts - a ‘DIT’ of a difference - the number of QSO’s we had to sort out - phew! Thankfully George has been resident in DU land for some years now.

I used to get problems on the Sunday 5 megs net after the news as G8ABB was a regular there: a bit of noise on the channel and “ABB” sounds like “ADD” and vice versa!

Brian - I worked G8XDD from G/SP-002 last week - had to do a double take when entering in the database.
