[CQ-Contest] Accuracy of VY2TT CQWW CW 2010 Log Checking Report

[Barry]

I once went back and listened to my recorded CQWW CW QSOs to hear the 
dinged QSOs again.  For the most part, the removed calls were done 
correctly.  There were a few instances where the other station sent his 
own call incorrectly (!) and a few that were removed as busted for no 
apparent reason, at least from what transpired over the air - even a few 
for which I received QSLs.
