[CQ-Contest] UBN Question

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Hi Bill!

You do not loose any points for -B or -N qsos with zero point claimed qsos.
Doing the math in your report shows that you had no point penalty for your -B and
-N W/K qsos. Everything works perfect.

As our log had many W/K QSOs (we log everything we work, including dupes) I am at a
loss as to why our 40 meter phone QSO was in your log and not in the K3LR log. I am
glad it did not cost you any points.

73!
