I can't begin to count the number of times that the "helper(QRM'er?)"
has been WRONG with the forwarded callsign.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW UBN and NIL Reports Updated
Message-ID: <199803140822.AAA16747@jzap.com>


The UBN and NIL (Unique/Bad/NotInLog) reports for e-mail
entrants in the 1997 CQWW DX Contest (SSB only) have been
updated as of 1998 March 14, 0430 GMT.  Earlier versions of
those reports may be out-of-date.

CW reports will be available shortly.

If you entered both modes via e-mail with the same call, you
will have received two access codes, one for each mode.  The
database has been updated so that either code will now work for
either mode.

Dick Norton, N6AA, has graciously allowed his P29AS log and
reports to be made public.  Anyone can access these files
without need of an access code:

    http://cqww.com/cqww/logs/ssb/p29as/

Viewing these files should help snail-mail entrants see what
they're missing by not entering via e-mail :-)
