N4ZR:
They don't seem to have done so this time at ARRL - I lost credit for every
unique (7 I think, not counting busted calls)), including at least 5 that
are confirmed to be active calls by QRZ.


        Definitely not the case for me.  The one unique I lost was due to my
miscopy.  The other unique was a new mult (CE1/K7CA) which was
credited.
