I lost quite a few QSOs. For a number of years, the Russia DX was the
same weekend as the Virginia QSO party. In the FCC database, my
callsign was listed as being a Virginia address. For many logging
programs, I would pop up as being a Virginia QSO party multiplier and
casual ops who were focusing their efforts on the Virginia QSO party
would work me for a QSO. There, I lost points, which is absolutely
stupid IMHO.
Casual ops are the bread and butter of DX contest stations and
discouraging them doesn't send a very good message.

It had changed four years later. I did a couple of RDXCs for WRTC2014
qualification. It was either 2013 or 2014 when the RDXC overlapped with an SSB
Sprint. So I worked a number of guys in the Sprint, exchanging serial numbers
as part of the exchange. (A few wondered how I was running up such a big
number.) I lost quite a few of the Sprint QSOs in the RDXC log checking, though
not all. I never followed up to see how or why the QSOs were dropped.

This is a relatively recent change in the RDXC adjudication.
RDXC was a major qualifying contest for WRTC-2010. Southwest New Mexico, at the bottom of
the sunspot cycle, was a terrible place to try to work the Europe-centric RDXC. The only
way to come up with a big score was to spend most of the daytime hours on 20 SSB, in the
general class band, working many, many random, "not in the contest" folks. Of
course, none of them sent in their log. In the log checking, I did not lose any QSO's
working these folks. They made up over 50% of my total QSO's, and I greatly appreciate
them.
