After the UK-DX RTTY contest was over I noticed a couple of blank
serial nr spaces in my WriteLog log, so thought I would "unclaim"
them to simplify the contest committee's log check process and to
avoid any penalty to me for reporting a bad exchange.
After WL created the Cabrillo file, I discovered they had been
completely removed!!!
Whazzup with that? Those two stations I worked don't deserve any NIL
penalty just because I screwed up logging the exchange! And I don'
t(?) deserve a penalty either.
I went back and "claimed" them and submitted a Cabrillo that has them
listed (with blanks).
It seems to me there should be a way to deal with this situation
within the WL Cabrillo file so that the contest robot can see that I
am reporting that the Qs took place, but I am not claiming them for my credit.
Do other contesting programs handle this differently?
Please FWD this to a Cabrillo reflector, if it exists.
