[UK-CONTEST] IOTA database?

[Chris G3SJJ]

Darren, most loggers will now have a database of calls and IOTA refs. The user accuracy will depend on two aspects : 1 - If the database has been 
updated each year by the program producer and 2 - If the user has imported the latest version. If either of those is negative then inaccuracies will 
occur.

At G6MC we had the latest Call History database, kindly updated by Jim MM0BQI a day before the contest, installed but we still checked what we saw on 
the screen against what we heard. In case of any difference, what you hear is, of course, what you log!
