Not true.

If you look at your Log Checking Report from last year, you will see that you 
were penalized if you copied the serial number incorrectly. No free passes for 
off-by-one serial numbers. In the log checking process, the assumption is that 
the sending station logged the correct serial number, and the receiving station 
made the "error". Unfortunately, the Win-Test situation is doubly bad, in that 
the wrong station gets penalized. In the Win-Test situation, the sending station 
has incorrectly logged a different serial number from what was actually sent by 
Win-Test, but the receiving station gets penalized.
