[CQ-Contest] Busting Packet

[JAMES NEIGER]

With all due respect, Bob, I happen to have 100% proof that this is NOT a=
lways true.  Under "unique" circumstances, the CQ WW Committee will somet=
imes count a 100% valid, and "unique", QSO as BAD, and you will LOSE cred=
it.  However, if you have a priori knowledge that you're about to lose cr=
edit, and prove it on a timely basis, credit will probably be restored.

In their defense, the Committee is doing the best that they possibly can,=
 the real workers there are grossly under-appreciated, and log adjudicati=
on is orders of magnitude superior to what is was up to, say a dozen year=
s ago, and their "best" is probably good enough.
But please, let's not any of us think that it is infallible............

I'm anticipating that K3EST will make a statement here at some point in t=

near future, but this erroneous comment regarding Uniques needs correctio=

No credit for QSOs with Unique stations are removed from anyone's log.

They are simply marked as unique with a "U" on the UBN report.  No credit= 
 is 
removed calls marked as Unique.

Please read that statement carefully.  It says that no one loses credit f= 
or 
working a unique station.

There are various methods used to determine whether or not calls are Bad, 
and if that occurs, they are marked as "-B" on the UBN report and credit = 
is 
removed.

If you have dispute about a callsign in your log that is marked "-B", sen=
