It is always interesting looking through the UBN/NIL reports. In my 
case with QRP I get quite a few goofs on my callsign - R3YMC and 
N3YMC are quite common, but I see I even had G3XMC when I worked Dave 
G4BUO...

The rather surprising one is HG75M which was copied as HG7HM by a 
massive 873 stations including myself (1360 got it correct). I guess 
bad sending by the operator, but under the CQWW log checking rules 
HG75HM loses no points for these QSOs, only those who worked him. 
Something maybe not fair there!!

73 Dave G3YMC
