[CQ-Contest] Uniques are not removed

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

Yes, it depends on the contest.

In most contests that are discussed here (the big 'uns - CQWW, SS, ARRLDX), "uniques" are left in the log and count fully.  They may be highlighted in the UBN report, perhaps only as a way of letting one know that the call was "suspect".

Just look for the telltale minus sign.
