[UK-CONTEST] SSB FD UBN's

If you can prove they didn't send /P,  they should get docked not you and
not just loose the QSO. Again sloppy probably in the case of CW hand sent.
On SSB just sloppy. 
	I fear the situation varies according to Contest: CCs a fair amount
of hand sending as in Beru, NFD I would have thought less today, but ask
yourself where all those "out by one" serial numbers are coming from and
it's not the software.  73 Clive GM3POI

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!

73 Dave
