[ct-user] CQ Robot bounces (kinda long...)

[Mohammad Arif Faraz]

I found same problem starting line 551 until 600.

QSO: 14000 CW 2005-11-27 0002 YE1ZAT        599 28     JR1LEV        599 25 
1
  Line 551 was discarded.  Invalid date and time.  The contest took
  place from 0000Z on 2005-11-26 through 2359Z on 2005-11-27.

Already sent email to Contester Committe and waiting for they reply.
