Clive,

One problem with your penalty idea is that the receiving station could 
be penalised when the sending station had sent the call incorrectly.
I am thinking particularly of stations omitting to send "/P" on Field Days.

There are at least 5 such errors in my UBN, and having checked (again) 
the recording the /P was certainly not sent.
Additionally in 2 cases the station sent "/P" but apparently was not!
In all these cases the stations concerned were European, not in UK.

This problem is always worse on SSB than CW, when of course most 
stations use the PC to send the exchange.

Perhaps in future we should submit recordings along with the logs!
