Last I looked, nearly all of the major contests penalize the sending 
station for mis-copying any part of the QSO. Only the receiving station 
gets dinged if he misses something. I've heard some of the Russian 
contests DO penalize the sending station.

I believe that it is the responsibility of the sending station to 
correct the running station if the sending station thinks the running 
station got it wrong. In this case, I'll send my call at least twice 
before sending him the exchange, and will hang in as long as he's asking 
for a repeat.
