[CQ-Contest] UBN Question

[David Robbins K1TTT]

NO!NO!NO!  You don't lose points if you bust zero point qso's!!!  

Count the points for the -b and -n qso's and multiply by 4, it should total
the same as the points removed.

Look at my 160m one below:

LINE CODE CALLSIGN(#-BAND-LOGS) [POSSIBLE-CALLS(#-band-logs)[code]]

   5  U K2WH (2) K2WA(132) K2PH(110) K2DH(9)
  13  U AD8L  AD4L(128)H AD8P(35)
  24 -N OT5G(1984)

 126  U KA1TBQ (3) N6TBQ(57)
 130  U K1AF  K1AR(1384)N K1AE(343)H K1AK(92) K1AA(41) K1ANT(15)

 158 -B VE5DX(7)  VP5DX(1410)H VE5FX(492)H VA5DX(256) VE5DG(56) VE1DX(44)
 162 -B NS6T(2)  NS3T(163)Wn NU6T(74)H NH6T(71)H NS6C(12)
 184  U VE3HXZ  VE3HMZ(5) VE3HX(33)

189 calls, 12 (U or B), ( 6.3%), 17 (U+1 or B or N) ( 9.0%)
133 cross-checked, 5 not-in-log.
NIL QSO points removed (no possible logs) = 12 (3 QSOs).
BAD QSO points removed = 16 (6 QSOs).

Notice, one -N dx station is 3 points, 4*3=12... no points removed for the
other 2 NIL's.  And 2 -B ve stations total 4 points, 4*4=16... no points
removed for the other bad ones.
