Could this be to do with the tolerances on different rigs ??

Interesting. Talking hypothetically, of course, how close does a callsign have to be?
If, for instance, HG5A was spotted 15 times by HA5KDQ, would this be classed
as against the rules? Again, hypothetically speaking there might be proof available
and if so what hypothetical penalty might be imposed?
