[CQ-Contest] Serial number, contact sending speed

[Barry]

I recall a CQWW CW 10+ years ago where I was dinged for a busted call.  
I had recorded the contest and went back to listen to the exchange.  The 
guy sent his own call wrong!  I sent the audio snippet to one of the 
CQWW committee guys for comment.  It didn't affect any standings, so 
nothing was done with it.

Moral of the story - you can to everything right and still lose points.
