To add  my halfpenneth.  In a recent 80m  Club contest one particular  
contestant was giving every contact 47 or 48, he was hoping, I suspect, that I  
would log 58 or even 59 and thus get a Busted contact, and he would happily  
claim the contact as I gave him 59, or whatever my logging program  
prompted.  I have spoken to a number of other contestants from this  session and 
this competitor has done the same to them.  I regard this as  sharp practice 
and should be curtailed by a warning, surely every contact he  made would not 
have been readability 4?

Did anyone else get the same  treatment?

There is no way he gains any advantage as I understand it.   The 
adjudicating system can not tell what he actually sent or what you  actually received, 
so you both find yourselves in a "no match"  situation and neither of you 
gets a credit for the qso.  He looses just as  much as you.  73 Derek G3RAU
