[CQ-Contest] Cut Numbers

[Alan Zack]

You can go to:

http://www.arrl.org/contests/results/

and check your LCR (log checking reports).  There are several years 
contests listed.  I have been dinged in each and every contest listed 
for Incorrectly Copied Callsigns (I believe by my mistyping but still a 
valid ding) and Incorrect Exchange Information in the ARRL DX CW & SSB 
by logging the wrong power that did not match the senders log.  So, for 
example if you believe the cut number AT might mean 10 watts and not 100 
watts or 1000 watts or whatever it is supposed to be and log it wrong 
YOU WILL BE DINGED.  And I am not a big gun, just a little pistol with 
100 to 300 Q's in various contests.
