[CQ-Contest] UBN Question

[Steve London]

Bill,

Do the math !

The non-USA bad QSO's were:

3 points - 121 -B SP4TKL(1)  SP4TKR(378)Wn SP4TKB(15)
2 points -  136 -B HR2AGC(1)  HR2AHC(500)N HR1AGC(87)
3 points - 179 -B YT3UZ(1)  UT3UZ(39)
3 points - 716 -B 4X1WN(1)  4X4WN(15) 4X1UN(12)
3 points -  738 -B HK2BXU(1)  OK2BXU(360)
3 points -  873 -B EA1GAB(1)  EA1GAR(500)Ww EA1GT(257)
2 points - 1026 -B VA3FT(1)  HA3FT(143)H VA3FP(138)H

19 points of bad QSO's.

Invoking the standard CQWW penalty of 3 extra QSO's for each bad QSO:

57 penalty points

Total bad QSO points lost = 19 + 57 =  76 points --- just like it says 
in the UBN report.

The non-USA not-in-log QSO's were:

3 points - 939 -N CT1ELF(236)
3 points - 945 -N EA5AFY(61)

6 points of not-in-log QSO's.

Invoking the standard CQWW penalty of 3 extra QSO's for each not-in-log QSO:

18 penalty points.

Total not-in-log QSO points lost = 6 + 18 = 24 points --- just like it 
says in the UBN report.

So, no, you did not lose any points for the bad, or not-in-log USA QSO's.

73,
Steve, N2IC
