I don't think it has anything to do with copying CW. It has to do with fat
fingers and guys like me who learned hunt and peck typing. I sometimes hit
the "O" instead of the "0" in normal operation. Heck, they're right there
next to each other.
My 2 cents.
QSL.
Actually, there seem to be three contributing factors:
1.) Fat fingers typing 0 instead of O
2.) Mis-copied callsigns
3.) Stations responding to spots without confirming the call with their own
ears.
It would be interesting to know the percentage of each!
