#Partial Calls

A partial call is a callsign that was only half copied, for example a prefix and digit with the suffix still missing. Partial calls appear in every pileup, when an operator must keep the rate and cannot ask for a repeat each time. Left in the final log, they produce busted calls and lost QSOs. Articles under this tag explain how to mark them, how to complete them and how to decide when a QSO should be dropped. The focus is on honest, careful logging habits.
