[UK-CONTEST] BERU UBN?

[G4LMW]

Andy

All the adjudicators have to go by is what is in the other log. If 11 is ok 
if logged as 10, then 15 is OK if logged as 75, after all it is only 1 digit 
out.

Given that it is the same for everyone, I have no problem with the concept 
that any error causes the loss of the QSO. Any other method of scoring 
requires either far more complex programming or human intervention.
