[UK-CONTEST] BERU UBN?

>There is no penalty in RSGB HF contests for any logging error.

Well I must be misinterpreting General rule 7a which sez "Errors in
sending / receiving are penalised by the loss of all points for the QSO."

> This could equally apply to callsigns.  What is special about callsigns
that is not special about exchanges - while contesting?

I sed before that I agree with the Busted callsign total penalty; that is
a checkable error post-contest - serial numbers received are not.

> That's a red herring - we are not encouraging new entrants to be casual
about logging.  They must be encouraged to be accurate.

Yes of course they should be accurate, but penalised fairly for
innacuracies; not have their QSOs blasted out of the very same water the
herring live in.

> As I mentioned, this is an entirely separate issue.  There should be a
penalty when there is a difference between what was sent and what was
logged as sent.

Agreed!  Which neatly returns us to the scale of the penalty.
