I was "sorta participating" in ARRL DX SSB as SOSB 10 QRP this weekend. Not using any assistance. Mighty score of 110Q's 50 multipliers in 6 hours claimed.

BUT, I was asking the RBN and DXSummit.fi to let me know where W1AW/0 and W1AW/7 were active, so I could get an insurance contact with both of them.

I got a report that W1AW/0 was on 21 MHz SSB, so I went there, No Dice, but I did find VP5H near the frequency which was reported for W1AW/0. Obviously, VP5H wouldn't count in my 10 meter score, so I worked him - since I know one of the operators there.

I looked again, and found that W1AW/0 had moved to CW, so I went on CW and he was LOUD, so I worked him. I also noted that W1AW/7 was on 18 MHz SSB, so I worked him there.

In both cases these contacts were in the ARRL SSB DX contest log. These obviously don't count for any points, so, my question:

Should I take them out and put them in a special DX log?

Or will the scoring robot ignore the CW contact and the 18 MHz phone contact with no penalty. I know I'm not supposed to massage the log after I submit it, so I'm inclined to keep these in there.

Just curious.

72/73 de n8xx Hg
QRP >99.44% of the time

p.s. I KNOW that assistance from skimmers and DX clusters is not permissible with single op category, so I didn't use it. It's very easy to set up the RBN to only search for W1AW/* and similarly it's easy to do so for the dxsummit.fi.
