[UK-CONTEST] BERU UBN

[dave]

It has been suggested that the Adjudicators ignore logged RS(T).
Can that be confirmed or denied please? It seems to me unreasonable that 
a QSO should score zero points if a single digit in the serial is wrong 
but a mis-copied report is ignored.

During the recent LP Contest there were many exchanges of report that 
were not 5nn, so will they be checked?
Incidentally I experienced instances of stations giving me 599 and 
asking thrice for repeats! No wonder the anti-contestors mock us. Surely 
in a low-power contest with low QSO rates it is reasonable to expect not 
all reports will be 5nn. There was time to discuss the Mother-in-laws 
dog's latest illness, so don't tell me a couple of extra key-strokes 
would have impacted on QSO numbers!

Returning to the issue of Serial Numbers, I have had UBN reports showing 
busted QSOs were the RX signal is read as (for example) "10" when it 
should have apparently been "09" .
That can't be mis-reading or mis-typing but surely must be an issue with 
the transmitting station.
