[UK-CONTEST] NFD error rates : UBN Reports?

[Nigel G3TXF]

Hello Clive,

We at GW0AAA/p were taken aback not only by our 4.4% error rate (45 busted
QSOs), but also by our error rate being close to twice that of GM2MP/p
(2.2%) and GM3POI/p (2.7%). 

Obviously the 3As are not as good at copying callsigns/exchanges as we think
we are!

Yes, it would be nice if there was some way of obtaining a "UBN" type report
for NFD. I always learn something useful by going through the UBN reports
for CQWW (and for the IOTA Contest). 

Is there any way to access a UBN Report for NFD? Hopefully it'd help us make
fewer errors in NFD next year.

73 - Nigel G3TXF

I notice that your question has not been answered Alex. I too noticed the 
error rates have shot up after this years NFD. Has the CC taken up a 
different approach to errors i.e. removing extra Qs for serial number 
errors.?
    We lost 32Q after checking and others e.g. AAA lost 45. I can't believe 
we busted that many calls. 73 Clive GM3POI
