All,
As is often said on this channel, "calm down." No one is advocating that all
uniques be removed from logs and be classified as bad calls. Of course there
are examples such as Hans' QSO and others.
The point is that in a large contest such as the CQWW, it is very rare to work
a station that no one else has worked, thus suggesting that many of the unique
QSOs that show up in logs are probably busted calls.
A high ratio of uniques is nothing more than an indicator to a log checker for
most contests.
No worries -- your uniqueness is safe! See you in this thread in 2018 when we
pick up where we left off this time. :-)
Has anyone done anything interesting this summer to get ready for the fall
contest season?
73, John, K1AR
