They didn't, Al. You can find the PT5M UBN report here:

You are not in it. At least one of the 23 non-WRTC stations you worked
must have sent in a log to the WRTC log checkers, so you didn't count as
a unique. Your QSO counted and helped PT5M.  This is an example of
why it was important for non-WRTC stations to email their logs in to the
WRTC log checkers right after the contest.

Probably just a couple of S%itheads. What's that expression "there's one in
every crowd".

Yes, from what I can see the PY folks did a terrific job.
