There are still system flaws and uniques sometimes
are marked as -B. I noticed this in my 2000 CQWW
SSB report.

I'm anticipating that K3EST will make a statement here at some point in
the
near future, but this erroneous comment regarding Uniques needs
correction:
>> It's a shame those contacts don't count, it is the careful
listening/good
receiver penalty at work, hi hi. <<
No credit for QSOs with Unique stations are removed from anyone's log.
They are simply marked as unique with a "U" on the UBN report. No
credit is
removed calls marked as Unique.
Please read that statement carefully. It says that no one loses credit
for
working a unique station.
There are various methods used to determine whether or not calls are
Bad,
and if that occurs, they are marked as "-B" on the UBN report and credit
is
removed.
If you have dispute about a callsign in your log that is marked "-B",
send
your supporting info to:
questions@cqww.com
