- Duplicate contacts are removed with no additional penalty.
- Contacts with an incorrectly received exchange are removed with no additional penalty.
- Call sign errors (bust) or call signs not in the other log (NIL) are removed and receive a penalty of three times the QSO point value for that contact.
And for the multi-stations
- For M2 and MS entries, altering the logged time of the QSO so as to “fit” the band-change rules, the QSO will be removed with an additional penalty of 10x for QSO points and for Multipliers.
I have too many NIL's in my UBN reports. Too often I don't listen good enough to the other station giving the call of who they are working. Sometimes I only hear one or two letters or a 4 and a letter and Instead of verifying they mean me by hearing the full call sign I am just assuming they are coming back to me. That happens when I'm tired or in too much of a hurry. That assumption is hurting my score. I'm working on that.
