[CQ-Contest] Log checking errors

"...but all QSO lines contain DL9LR as his call."

I see two issues here.

First, I thought each QSO: line was supposed to represent the actual contest 
exchange that took place at the time, band, and mode of that line in the 
Cabrillo file. Why would a Cabrillo header take precedent over the actual 
logged contacts in the submitted file?

Two, there is a difference between the contest robot and the adjudication 
software. Don't wrap them up into one package. What the robot accepts and 
rejects is irrelevant to how the logs are processed later.

OK, so i'll add a little more feedback.

I've checked my "DL9LR/DK1F" case.
He used DK1F in the contest, had DK1F in the CALLSIGN header but all QSO
lines contain DL9LR as his call.

As i mentionned before, i had no NIL because we had the same call in my
QSO line and his header. His call into his QSO lines is not taken into
account by the robot.

But what's surprising is that DL9LR got a NIL for the QSO with me (and
probably had 100% NIL ?). So in this case, when the robot checked his
log, he used his callsign taken from his QSO lines, not his header.

Go figure...
