That would seem to be a bug in the log checking process. What it really
should look at is if the call was logged as /N and the mode as CW. I doubt
the log checking process is checking the frequency field.
You might inquire with N1ND or K8CC (assuming he's still in charge of the
10 Meter Contest log checking.)
