It is not uncommon when activating POTA to get response from calls that are adjacent or a few letters apart. These are usually multi-op stations with spouses or siblings that got their tickets together and hence very closely spaced call signs.
Today (winter solstice of 2023) I was activating Belle Isle Park K-1487 in Michigan and encountered the following calls in sequence. I first worked W8CAR out of OH.
As soon as I was done with the call, I got a call from W8CA.
Initially I thought the caller was trying to correct me. However, when I went back to the second call, both reported different QTH states. This was confirmed by lookin up QRZ after I came back home from the activation. What are the chances? Have you run into situations like these?
Maybe I should go and buy the lottery!
