[UK-CONTEST] SSB FD Claimed Scores

[Alan Hydes]

Dave,

The DARC run contest has more sections including single operator, which will 
swell the number of logs.  If this is something that would prove popular, 
maybe we should consider it for the RSGB event.

Overall the number of operators who took part in SSB Field Day is healthy at 
around 270, plus a lot of people who don't get listed.

This year I will be aiming to complete adjudication before the HFC event.  I 
would rather publish results that have been fully adjudicated against the 
European logs than put out a set of unreliable claimed scores, many of which 
have been wrongly calculated using the DARC scoring.
