Ok - since you asked.

I was looking at the IARU results and decided to 
compare the published scores to the scores reported 
on 3830 after the contest. I wish I had a more compleate 
list of claimed scores. None the less I think you 
will find this intresting.  It is too bad that
we will not get to see the CW SS scores until about
mid May.  It will give us all something to talk 
about at Dayton I am sure.

Kind of interesting - esp the ones over 10% change.
Also I wonder about the ones that show no change.
The listing is in order of score from the 3830 scores.
If you look closely you can see that several stations 
changed positions in the standings.  I am sure you will
see this in the SS as well - maybe even more of it
as SS scores are usually very close.

There are some errors in the process - but overall
it is great to see the ARRL is really checking 
logs for a change.

Important notes:

1. n2ic's log was "re-scored" as if he had done the contest
   from the east coast.  He is in Colorado.  It did not
   change his standing. But his % change in score went up
   as a result.

2. VE7NTT sent in a paper log and thus was not checked.
   I am told Gary won an award for clean logs a
   the last WRTC - and he is known for having
   very clean logs.  Other 0% change logs would 
   be so for the same reason.  It is my understanding
   that in the SS every effort is made to get a 
   disk or file if the person used a computer but 
   sent in a paper log.  They are also entering 
   hand logs - so they can have them in electronic format.
   So this will not happen in the SS or future contests.


3. There are some other scores that changed up - this 
   can happen if the 3830 listing was incorrect or
   if someone scored their log incorrectly.  These
   most likely account for the negitive % changes.
