[CQ-Contest] unique contacts and logging errors

[Thomas Horton]

Bill,
 With all due respect to you, some of us sometime QRP
operators do have good receivers and can copy calls as wellas a big gun.
 As a sometimes QRP operator, I sometimes do also get legit unique
callsigns in my log as well...as I'm sure others of us do.
 As you stated it's not fair to make a blanket statement about us either.
73, tom K5IID
