[UK-CONTEST] BERU UBN?

[Rob Harrison]

Hi,

Reference the LOTW issue. I'm not clued up on the way this all hangs 
together in software, but I'm assuming everything is linked and what you put 
into the logger goes into the logbook and the contest log. It would 
therefore follow that all the data would be the same, GIGO. If the other 
party did enter the wrong serial it would show the same in the LOTW and the 
contest logger, leading you to think it was a valid QSO, as was mentioned.

If this is not the case, then a quick precis of the set up would be 
appreciated.
