Well, I've been communicating with K3EST off-list about a multiplier
that was removed from my log.  I was just playing around, S&Ping on
40 single band.  I was about to quit and realized that I didn't have
a US multiplier, so I found a big MM (I believe) that was listening
on his own frequency and worked him.  Without question. Guess what? 
The lid didn't log the QSO and I lose a mult!

In my case, the public release of the NIL file would demonstrate a
pattern of this type behavior that may be of interest to the greater
contesting community.  I don't think it's up to me to do it, although
I think it should be done (in other words, don't ask who - I ain't
tellin'!).

Just my opinion...and worth everything you paid for it!
