[CQ-Contest] Station not giving a check or section

[Felipe J Hernandez]

Yes, I understand ... I was refering more to the term "unstable operator"

In dayton weve joked around with the likes of N2NT, K5ZD, W2Gd and many others that in fact theyve had these out of body experiences, i guess that In WW is less of an issue since exchanges are simple, but in other contests 
it may be more challenging.

Next time you hear one of our great operators sending crazy stuff, dont call them LIDs' just tell them to take a break.

test!

  Nothing "politically correct" about it, Felipe.

  The "unstable" refers to the fact that log robot found information in the exchange from a particular station was not consistent throughout the contest.

  For example, if I send a check of "99" a thousand times in the course of the contest, and in 10 logs they find something else, those 10 logs take a hit.

  But if the robot finds many many deviations from "99", then it considers that element "unstable" in my QSO's, and does not deduct from other logs for that element.

    Hans,

    Thanks for the politically correct explanation.. I guess you mean a "Loco operator"?

    IM sure Ill be joining that list on sunday after not sleeping for a few days.. It 
    is a toughtful solution for a known problem of operators hearing voices and other allucinations..

    Last time I had one, I was dreaming of walking on the boom of the 2 el 40 yagi up 140 ft., was sending Cw with the paddle instead of the keyboard and God knows what I was sending..

    Suddenly after  5 or 6 people sent LID in a row I woke up.... remember this year instead of LId use Loco..

    hi hi..

      Probably not.  I've read somewhere (probably here) that the log checking 
      software is able to detect "unstable station" exchange information, and does 
      not throw the contact out.
