Somehow this was cut off and sent before finished...Thanks Juno..HI

The remarks by AD6E are right on.  Casual contesters make contesting fun
and the top stations have a way of attracting them.   Contest checkers (I
hate the word judges) do try to get a substantial number of these
stations to send along a check log or a list of contacts made so there is
more of a level playing field.

Uniques are also attracted by the top stations.  We certainly don't want
to discourage those from building a top performing station by deleting
uniques.  In the CQ 160 contests uniques only come into play as a factor
if a station reaches 3% unique contacts.  The average uniques is less
than .8%   Above 3% the log is checked closely and above 7% the log can
be disqualified.  We don't want padding of the log from say the call book
to occur but its hard to detect without unique guidelines.     

I still feel that human review of UBN's (at least for top scores) is
required.
