[CQ-Contest] Who copies things any more?

[Oliver Dröse]

Same question/request goes to the log checkers! Or how else would such a 
thing happen? ;-)

This is the corresponding audio recording:

Definitely copied correctly (my contest software defaulted to 4, had to 
change it manually to 5) but the log checking software had it wrong! Not 
that it would have made a big difference in the final ranking but still 
there's some potential ... ;-)
