[CQ-Contest] RBN high busted rate during WAE DX?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Mike, thanks for reminding me of another cause - short first elements in 
a callsign can certainly fool both humans and RBN nodes.  Winkeyers can 
definitely cause this, by starting CW as soon as the PTT is asserted, 
which is why N1MM Logger+ has a lead time setting on its Winkey 
configuration tab.
