I worked VL1MA, just a quick rubber stamp job on 24.908 but when I checked with QRZ, VL1MA wasn't in the database.
4L1MA is a Georgian call, sounds similar and does exist in QRZ. The reverse beacon network was the final arbiter: 4L1MA was heard all over EU at that time so I was wrong. I'm embarrassed to have misread the call so many times but I'm not about to dispute the RBN record!!
Still, I've learned another use for RBN.
