******************** Unique Calls Worked *********************

VE4DV/6Y5   DM5MAA      DK2DO       SP8OOB      OK1DGT

There are 20 calls listed in the three categories.  The final score 
indicates I lost 17 QSOs.  Three of the Uniques are also scored as 
incorrect calls.  Assuming they were not double-counted, then all 7 
remaining uniques were deleted.

I mis-stated the number of my "uniques" identified in QRZ as legitimate 
calls.  There are only 4 - RA6LD, DK2DO, SP8OOB and I1TRE.

73, Pete N4ZR
