[CQ-Contest] WWDX log checking software glitch ?

Dear contest committee,

I just started analysing my last year's WWDX UBN's and found a few strange things already. Please see my detailed analysis for a few sample QSOs below. To my mind those errors should not happen in the log check software.

I know it is probably difficult to find a routine that handles such cases when QSOs with calls "one off" are happening within 1 or 2 minutes and you only have the log of one of the two stations that were worked. So I have no real idea but maybe some of your software guru's do. ;-)

Even with those correct QSOs counted in it would not have made a difference in my personal standing. Nevertheless it could have done (and probably for others, too) therefor I would be glad to see a solution if possible at all.

Many thanks for taking a look into it.

73, Olli - DH8BQA
