[CQ-Contest] serious question clarification

[Chris Hurlbut]

I would delete the QSO from my log, and hope the other guy doesn't get mad
at me when he sees his UBN report.

I would probably make a mental note to maybe dupe the guy later on just to
make sure he doesn't hunt me down after the contest. :)
