Phillip,
Which contest did this happen with?
I've heard of a handful of contests that do this, and the usual reasoning boils
down to whether or not a 'unique' call will be permitted. It could be a busted
call, or a bootlegged or made-up call by someone having some twisted fun with
the contest participants... or it could be a faked entry to give someone
unethical a mult that no one else has.
OTOH, I also know of many contests that will accept a 'unique' call, so long as
it's determined that the call IS valid and isn't busted, etc.
But I wouldn't consider it 'accepted international practice.'

Gentlemen,
Your opinions or ideas etc on this please.
A local contester had a contact removed because of :
.Last year an OP worked a LU station but it was disallowed because he was the
only one who worked him, and 4 others had to work it before it was allowed as a
multiplier. Nothing in the rules about that - apparently it's accepted
international practice.
I am not on a witch hunt I have read the rules covering this contest and I have
read the ARRL DX rules which I take qualify as a body who would use " accepted
international practice " yet I can't find any reference to this ..Is there such
or is this pie in the sky ?
Please gentleman your input.. or a pointer to this " accepted international
practice "
Just don't want to see it happen again ..
