Dear Contesters,
 
As has already been reported - the ARRL DX CW Results have been pulled from 
the web site - just one day after being posted.  This is due to a process 
problem that was discovered when some of you saw the results.  In short,
none of the duplicate QSOs in the logs were removed - and counted as good
QSOs.

Obviously, this could have an impact to the final standings, so we are 
going to fix the problem, recompute the scores and repost the corrected 
results as soon as possible (probably later next week).

We apologize for the delay.

The CW results in QST have already been printed.  However, the .PDF version 
of QST on the web will be corrected at a later date.  The SSB results will 
be fixed before they are published.

This programming error was a result of adding new functionality to the log 
checking program to better detect infractions of the band change rule for 
multi-one and multi-two entrants.  In the future, we will put a process into 
place to do a reality check on the numbers before the results are published.  
This should detect this kind of problem in the future.
