I can see losing the QSO points, without further penalty, if the station
worked is proven to be unlicensed. But what if I work a licensed operator,
but claim the wrong multiplier? For example, I might work a GM0, and
mistakenly believe he was in the Shetlands. In that case, I think I
should still get the QSO credit. If the GM0 sends in his log, and it
shows I copied his call wrong, I should suffer the penalty. Now, to
make things more interesting, suppose the GM0 does not send in his
log, but a call very similar appears in several others' logs. Determining
whether he could possibly have been in the Shetlands shouldn't be too
hard, but should I be penalized for a broken call? Maybe I copied it
wrong, or maybe everyone else worked GM0ABC but I really did work GM0UBC, who
didn't happen to work anyone else whose logs were checked. (Not that
my scores are ever high enough to warrant such scrutiny, either.)
