[CQ-Contest] Bold-faced cheaters

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

The CQWW team investigates any possible errors that are brought to our
attention.  Most of the database was hand typed, so errors do exist.  They
are usually easy to research and fix.  

The K4WI 160m score was a typo.  It has been repaired.

Randy, K5ZD
