[UK-CONTEST] UBNs - ARRL DX CW

[Dave Sergeant]

Just been looking at my UBNs for this year's ARRL DX CW contest - the 
results are now available on the ARRL site by the way.

I made no errors at all myself from my 150 QSOs (not a serious 
entry...) so had no points deducted. There are a couple of stations who 
copied me as G3YEC, obviously relying too much on SCP. One station 
copied me as G3YMG, clearly a copying error. But more significant is a 
long string of stations who logged my power as 100 - it is pretty hard 
to get that out of 5W or 005, so they were clearly just guessing it.

I always feel that the 'power' exchange achieves little apart from 
giving the bigger stations an ego boost - one reason why I have little 
enthusiasm for it. But you shouldn't just guess the answer...
