I think the problem exists with some contesting software. Say someone
spots BD2X, which would be a new multiplier -- so it shows up in the
packet window. Someone else correctly spots 6D2X, who you've already
worked on that band. Since you've already worked, the corrected spot
doesn't appear, since the software filters it out.
However, if someone spots BD2XBUSTED, the software interprets it
similarly to BD2X, and displays it.
