My results weren't quite as good.

I had 249 raw QSOs, with 1 marked Dup. I busted 9 QSOs, giving me an 
error rate of 3.6%.

I had four busted calls. Check them out and see if you notice a pattern:
W3WT is a busted call.  The correct call is K3WT.
W0OU is a busted call.  The correct call is K0OU.
K9LZ is a busted call.  The correct call is W9LZ.
KB0S is a busted call.  The correct call is AB0S.

Hmm. This is a good reason for having UBN reports. Now that I know I have 
a problem, I'll strive to fix it.

The exchange busts weren't my "fault":

QSO #78 W4MYA : M 58 Va should be U 58 Va
QSO #88 N2QT : A 70 Va should be U 70 Va
QSO #171 W5GAD : B 56 La should be M 56 La

I was using a piece of paper to keep track of categories other than A, B, 
Q. Obviously, I messed up transcribing one of them, and two others I 
simply forgot to write down.

I lost two more in the cross check. One was NIL, the other was a bad 
number.

But the most interesting thing involves busts found in other logs, calls 
have been deleted to protect the guilty:

AA5LR is a busted call.  The correct call is AA4LR.
AA4LA is a busted call.  The correct call is AA4LR.

QSO #968 AA4LR : A 35 Ga should be A 75 Ga
QSO #211 AA4LR : A 35 Ga should be A 75 Ga
QSO #300 AA4LR : A 35 Ga should be A 75 Ga
QSO #707 AA4LR : A 65 Ga should be A 75 Ga
QSO #1 AA4LR : A 77 Ga should be A 75 Ga
QSO #516 AA4LR : A 94 Ga should be A 75 Ga

QSO #54 AA4LR : M 75 Ga should be A 75 Ga

QSO #379: Received QSO# 277 should be 237 AA4LR

Number busts found in other logs = 10 (4.2%)

Six, a full 60% of the busts came from the check. NONE from the section. 
One each from the number and precedence. And a couple of busted calls.

I wonder what I can do to better communicate the check. I always say 
"Seven-Five Georgia". Obviously that's not working.
