Default Unusual call

I QSO'd 2B8CF listed as in England last night. QRZ.com did not locate
more specifically.

What's up with this unusual call for the UK?

Yes, I thought of that...Mauritius? on 40M? That would be cool.
However, it took a long time to copy this station...over and over I
copied 2B not 3B. And QRZ.com does list the 2B8 call as located in
England...near London on the MacLoggerDX map.

Is it possible to have a 2B8 call in the UK? or is it certain that it
was 3B8 in the Indian Ocean?

Thanks for helping a "newbie" ham

Never worked a 2B8, 2E at the most.

was 3B8 in the Indian Ocean?


Did you compare your QSO date/time with spots on the cluster?

7005.0 3B8CF 18-Oct-2006 0259Z WB7OJV
7005.1 3B8CF 18-Oct-2006 0236Z N4QS
7005.0 3B8CF 18-Oct-2006 0231Z cq DK2AI
7010.5 3B8CF 17-Oct-2006 0220Z RA3SL


I'm pretty convinced you worked 3B8CF.
