After publishing the results for the 2009 IARU HF World Championships in the
March 2010 QST, it was brought to our attention that the log-checking software
that evaluates unique call signs was mis-configured. As a result, QSOs with
many calls that were genuine uniques - and therefore good QSOs - were judged to
be busted QSOs. Correcting this error required re-scoring the contest logs.
The biggest change resulting from the re-scoring is that DAØHQ is the correct
winner of the HQ category. While no other overall winners were changed in the
major results tables, there were some shifts in the order of finish in the Top
Ten, Division and
Continental Leaders.

The ARRL deeply regrets this error.
The log-checking software has been re-configured and tested, and we are
confident this matter has been resolved for IARU 2010.
