Roy,
        This not logging a same country call thing kinda snuck up on
me as I haven't worked CQWW in a few years and I'm not familiar with
the UBN postings.
        I've been a semi-active pistol for thirty years and personally
find the concept of not logging a station one worked appalling.
        A few years ago the big issue was, "We gotta get new
contesters active!" Now it seems we are drifting toward the good of
the mega-stations and the hell with the rest.
        I'm begining to think a new ZERO POINT CATEGORY is
appropriate. This where I log only Q's that the other station tells me
"wrkd b4" and bonus points if the guy actually works AND logs me! This
way the guns are happy, they still claim the unearned points and I
feel I was a part of the 8-24 hour ordeal.
        Seriously, the UBN system would appear to stop the unearned
Q's. If we can find uniques, etc..., why not ferret out the unlogged
Q's and penalize for not properly logging them?
