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

[Rob Harrison]

Hi Chris,

Not the points but the principle of it. I'm more concerned at losing points 
because some other joker can't sort his end out.

I'll be looking for you later, 73

Bob

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
