[UK-CONTEST] YODX Contest

[Stephen Emlyn-Jones]

Hi Peter,
I only participated in the YODX contest to try & pick up some new counties
for the YO Award !
I have now sent in a checklog so as not to deprive the station of points
especially as Clive GW3NJW reminded me privately that this was The National
Children's Palace from Bucharest.Tks Clive!
I see Peter that you came a very creditable 3rd in the LZ contest but lost
some 25% of your claimed QSOs I assume because of this rule.
Now what about applying this parameter to some of the major contests - that
could produce some interesting results!

Yes Steve, it seems to be the norm in that part of the world.  Same deal in
the LZ Open contest  http://www.lzopen.com/lz-open-contest/results/2008.htm.

If you look at the published UBNs major causes of lost points are "no log
received" from the other station and time errors (you're allowed 3 minutes).

The rationale seems to be that if they have both logs then the results are
pretty bomb-proof.  No point looking for casual participants though, or
being one!
