You're absolutely right on both counts Jeff.  First, in my official
capacity as ARRL First Vice President, let me apologize for the
error.

I know that Bill Lunt and the staff work hard on the thousands of
sheets of paperwork from all of the contest that they tally and, yes,
sometimes things get lost.

But that doesn't make you feel any better knowing that it was some
type of inadvertent error that kept the listing you would be so proud of
from QST, hence my apology.

The Board's Computer Committee is beginning to focus on this issue now.
It will take a while to complete, but we acknowledge that problems exist and
are working to fix them.

Again, as a contester myself, I know how hard we all work during the event
and as such, I can say that ARRL's sorry for the mistake and will work
harder 
in the future to see that such mistakes are caught early.
