Comment on my original posting:
I've received an email from the log checkers for the ARRL 160
Meter Contest, and:
1) The P40TA score was due to an error in the checking program.
They are fixing the problem, and will recalculate scores. Stand
by for corrections.
2) The line scores are correct. Bad QSOs (NIL, etc.) remove penalty
QSO *points* in the calculation of the score, but *not* penalty
QSOs in the line score. I think that's a bit misleading (I'd
rather
see removed penalty QSOs not be reflected in the line total of
QSOs), but I can deal with it.
No point harassing N1ND about this: it's being examined. Stay tuned
for updates!
*************************
BTW, I think they still need a "Top DX" box to give non-W/VE operators
some recognition in this contest! The DX participants are **WAY** more
important to the ARRL 160 Meter Contest than, say, the #6 - 10 QRP
stations!

> In the ARRL 160 Meter Contest results listing and scores database,
> P40TA (K6TA, opr) is shown as:
>
> P40TA 124,960 - 739 - 88 - C
>
> With a maximum of 80 Sections available, the listed 88 is clearly wrong.
> In addition, his claimed score included only 76 Sections, so even a typo
> of "78" is unlikely!
