It's now very clear that the adjudication software needs to analyse all 
the UBNs identified in the entire contest, to look for any common 
factors on the _sending_ side.

What happens next is up to the adjudicator, but if he decides that the 
source of the error was more probably on the sending side, any points 
lost through working those stations should certainly be restored.

The argument that "it all averages out and affects everyone the same" 
has now gone way over its sell-by date.
