[CQ-Contest] Pd'A score and Trey's request

Sorry, Trey, I tried to follow your wishes.  I put you in my log for the 
P d'A contest...in fact, I put you in many times per band.  And, to make 
sure my score got in to the contest sponsors in time, I sent it ahead of 
the contest.  Unfortunately, it appears to have already been judged, and 
all of our QSOs have been deleted from the log!

I got a note from chief log-checker Nick Dorton, and he told me the 
following:

"All QSOs with N5KO have been disallowed as N5KO is far too unique an 
individual.  Other QSOs have been allowed to stand as the stations 
contacted are mediocre at best.  In the future, please try and limit your 
QSOs with more run-of-the-mill operators and try to avoid the unique 
operators."

I had no idea that the state of the art in unique checking had come that 
far.  Better luck next year!

Jim  N6IG
