[UK-CONTEST] September's 2010 IARU Region 1 144MHz contest results

[Chris G4FZN]

Hi Bob,

In the European scale of things, a few points here and there is not very
important, and I'm certainly not moaning!!! Perhaps the gentleman in
question signed /M whilst on his way to a site, and /P once he got there?  I
believe he was just "giving a few points away" which is always very welcome.
The robot probably picked up a QSO where he was logged as /P and then
decided all the /M QSOs were incorrect. GM4ZUK/P, G4Z, G5B, G3PYE/P, and
myself all logged him as /M and each lost a few points. C'est la vie!

Hope to find you tonight in the 2m UKAC!

73, Chris
G4FZN
