[CQ-Contest] CQWW LCR's and log scrubbing

[Dick Green WC1M]

The log checking program could be smarter about common mistakes like that. At the very least, an "X" in column 1 without a hyphen ought to generate an error so the person doing the log checking can make a manual correction.

Peter,

You entered them as "X QSO".  You left out the hyphen "X-QSO".

For this reason your QSOS with OE6Z and E7DX on 75 were ignored by the log checking software.
