Yeah, I also deleted a QSO from a well known Beds group in a 160m 
contest, whose club callsign just happened to be /M in a new bonus area 
for one of its members, who held the club licence and was a leading 
entrant. It was easy to spot those kind of things in the days of paper 
logs. You couldn't do it now!!
