K4BAI -- Thanks for the reminder to check UBN reports, John!
------------------------------------------------------------
The nature of the reported errors was EXTREMELY enlightening:
K9AY 1999 SS CW -- Q power
* 15 incorrectly copied Check #
* 5 "not in log"
* 3 incorrect QSO #
* 1 mis-copied call
It's obvious where my attention will be in the next SS -- Check #!
(10 of my mis-copied CK mixed up "6" and "7"!)
* 25 errors copying me in other guys logs -- most were the QSO #,
the rest mostly Check #. Only a couple callsign errors and some
of them were probably typos. I was QRP and maybe a bit harder to
copy than the big guns.
My UBN percentage was 3.8% -- 24 bad QSOs out of 631 claimed,
plus 6 penalty QSOs for the NILs and busted call. This is at best a
"fair" rating with lots of room for improvement. Greater accuracy
could have moved me up one position in the results.
This kind of analysis is a valuable byproduct of computer logging
and standard file format. Thanks ARRL and N6TR!
73, Gary
