[CQ-Contest] ARRL 10m prediction

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hi Steve:

Your QSO's will almost certainly count.  Except for the Sprint, I'm not
aware of any contests that penalize you if the other station busts your
call or exchange.  As long as they logged something close, you'll be
fine.

I always request the UBN reports from the contests that provide them.
It provides nice feedback.  I think the ARRL even indicates how many
other stations busted your call or exchange...

Don't worry.  The other stations will get gigged, but you shouldn't.

Mark, KD4D
