Hi Dave
I can confirm that ALL elements of the exchange are checked during

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.
