If the log checking process declares calls as bad despite my receiving
requests for QSLs from those stations, or because VU3s do not exist, or
seemingly on a hunch (a VS6 portable DU _must_ be dodgy), I & perhaps
others are being docked for perfectly valid Qs.

On the first pass, all Us that were -Bs were identified as such.  To go back
later & decide more Us were in fact -Bs is not only counterproductive (by
discouraging bringing anything up to begin with), but also begs the question
why they weren't called -Bs the first time around.

Dock me for my mistakes.  But docking me for other stuff when there may not
be much room for improvement as I strive to work my way up the CQ WW
Honor Roll isn't on.

Looking forward to seeing if submitting entries with a dozen or two Qs at most
solves this - it should also do wonders about those pesky QSLs.  ;^)
