[UK-CONTEST] CQ WW - Rules have changed

[Dave Lawley]

There is nothing to worry about Dave. The rule is to enable the committee to be able to identify those who are cheating by post-contest corrections of the log. This is just a handful of high-scoring entries that they are concerned about. 

You must have found situations in the past when some so-called hotshot works you as G3YMK and then doesn't acknowledge your callsign correction? If he does that in future he stands to be penalised. 

Cheers, Dave G4BUO
