[CQ-Contest] error report

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

There is a new blog entry on the CQ WW web site that provides some
additional information on error rates for CQ WW SSB 2013.

http://cqww.com/blog/?p=283

The average Error Rate for all logs was 3.60%.

Note: Percentages can be misleading.  A station that makes 10 QSOs and has
one error will have an Error Rate of 10%. There is no reason for anyone to
feel bad at making a few errors in all the QRM of CQ WW SSB!
