[CQ-Contest] The importance of CHECKLOGS

[Marc - ON7SS - OO9O]

Gents,

Some of you didn'tread the mail correct.
We don't remove uniques just because it is a unique.
If it can be checked that the callsign exists, the QSO is credited.
If a callsign appears in more then one log, the QSO is credited.

A unique callsign faces only the possibility to be removed if no trace 
of that callsign can be found anywhere on the internet and even then we 
are very carefully about it.
