I like this idea of progressive penalties! Implementing it should be fairly
easy in the log checking software.
To be fair to the rather large number of little logs, I would increase the
penalties based on number of QSOs rather than percentage. I think heavy
penalties are more appropriate on big logs. I really don't want to do
anything to discourage the first time contester with 100 QSOs and a
moderately high error rate.
