[CQ-Contest] Some thoughts on uniques, was: 99% of uniques are busted

[K0HB]

My understanding is that it would NOT get automatically bounced in any
contest, but that if that one Q "put you over the top" of another
competitor, that it would be "hand massaged" to determine if legit.

I am not a contest lawyer, and do not play one of the radidio.

Dit dit,

de Hans, K0HB
