Wasn't there once a rule in SweepStakes that said the two points for each
SS QSO was the sum of one point for correctly receiving the data and the
other point for correctly sending the data? I don't know if that is still
the rule or not?

That would imply that a busted call or exchange would still be worth one
point. If you knew the other guy had busted your call, then you would only
claim one point credit for the QSO in your log and summary sheet.

Thirty years ago, it was common to only count one point for a QSO where you
didn't copy the entire exchange sent to you but you felt confident the
other guy had gotten your information.

I wonder if this is still the case? Or is old age starting to effect my
memory?
