[CQ-Contest] Log checking anomalies

[Rich K2WR]

Yuri makes some good points regarding "UN7MMMM" and "JJJ2CJB".  Our AH6XX log lost two QSO's with JJ2CJB, and I waited to see what would get stirred up since it seemed likely that this would affect a lot of people.  In this case, it doesn't affect our standing (and pales in comparison with the two multipliers we did legitimately lose).  However, I seem to recall that we've been told by the Contest Committee that score reductions are not made by the robot without human intervention, and it appears that the system did not operate faultlessly in this case.  If hundreds of logs contained the same "error", and a log indicates that the submitter busted his own callsign, then it would seem reasonable for a human log checker to conclude that JJ2CJB probably didn't send JJJ2CJB.  I'm not exactly going to stand on my head until I turn blue, but it seems to me that the Contest Committee should revisit this one.
