[UK-CONTEST] Contest logger comparisons

[Clive GM3POI]

Yes alan,
     It caused us and others to initially loose points in last years NFD 
all because the received serial could be out by mainly plus or minus 1, 
and in some cases more.  N1MM has a serial number server so does not 
have a problem.
          The CC are aware of it, and have been so for a year. 73 Clive
