[UK-CONTEST] UBN failures

I see an interesting trend within UBN reports received by M0GVG. A number of
failed contacts are due to broken reports and, in almost every case, we have
logged that the other station has given us a report other than '59' but the
other stations have all logged that they have given us a '59' report.
Typically, the report we have logged is similar to the report we have sent,
perhaps suggesting that both the logged reports are correct. I'm left
wondering if the other stations logging software is automatically inserting
'59' and if the other operators are failing to replace this with the
'actual' report they sent.
