[UK-CONTEST] AFS Contest Logs - Duplicate Indication question

[Peter Hobbs]

I think you'll find that all QSOs (including dupes) are to be logged without 
comment or any special treatment.  Incorrect data is ignored unless it is 
within a log line and part of the essential data for a claimed QSO, when the 
QSO in question will not be scored.
When you get down to CQWW (and some other contests), additional penalties 
are applied for busted QSOs.  Incorrect data anywhere in the file (or even 
in the covering email) is also likely to result in the entry being bounced 
by the rather pedantic robot.  So far there's no evidence of this from the 
RSGB adjudicators.  But - there's talk of robots . . .

73, Peter G3LET
