> Because the skimmers don't know the call [PA33A]

Never misunderestimate the value of a call recognized by Super Check
Partial. Or even better, recognized by human beings as a typographically
valid call.

PA33A sure looked like a bust to me.

Reversebeacon.net shows correctly spotted PA33A 1144 times over the contest
weekend. I worked you twice. Each time I took extra care to verify your
call multiple times by ear, because I figured your
correctly-spotted-by-reversebeacon call was a bust.

I suspect the number of busted serial numbers in the contest is going to be
huge. I had to ask for so many fills and work hard to get the serials, with
two exceptions: 80M, which was as clear as a bell, and the last couple
hours when 15M and 20M just blew wide open.
