I like this idea of progressive penalties!  Implementing it should be fairly 
easy in the log checking software.

To be fair to the rather large number of little logs, I would increase the 
penalties based on number of QSOs rather than percentage. I think heavy 
penalties are more appropriate on big logs. I really don't want to do 
anything to discourage the first time contester with 100 QSOs and a 
moderately high error rate.
