[CQ-Contest] Log Checking. WPX CW.

[brian coyne]

I got a warning from the Robot of a bad qso.
When I look at the line it is just garbage, nothing like a callsign but does have a rcv'd s/n which doesn't look anything like any other qso around that time so, as  I just messed up, am I right in assuming. having now submitted the log 'as is', that the other guy will not lose the contact so long as I copied the s/n correctly?
 
What criteria is used for removing the 3 qso penalty, would they be 1 pt or 3 pt qso's and would they involve mult's?
