Actually, it was after I received a UBN for the 2001 Russian DX Contest when I decided to change my very good VA3UZ call for current - available at that moment (and not-so-good) VE3DZ. A couple of hundreds guys logged me as "UA3UZ" due to some smart DX cluster spotters.

I remember one year some W7 guy used to spot deliberately wrong calls in the ARRL DX CW. And if you are not assisted, the only way to suspect (even not to "know") that something is wrong is when all of a sudden you start to work a lot of dupes.

So, what does it have to do with accuracy of sending by the CQ'er??? I have no idea why so many of you are in awe of RDXC, and why 2nd WRTC in a row decided to give this contest a highest mark for selection process putting it in the same row with CQ WW's...

Again, penalizing an operator for something he's never done - what could be more dumber? Then let the organizers change the exchange procedure - make it an obligation for both guys to transmit both calls, or make it similar to Sprint exchange... But like I said, even that might not help.

And don't forget that if you work a lot of uniques in this Contest - for instance, staying over 14225 for General Class operators, these contacts will be removed too.

What if the other person not sure, deletes your call from their log?
You end up losing that QSO.

I don't have insight into log checking but I'd imagine that if the
computer can determine that the call was busted, one side would get
the Q credit - for example copying 6Y1V as BY1V, 6Y1V still gets the
credit. If it's completely off like copying W1VE as HB9/DL1ABC (due to
bad cluster spot) that you may lose the QSO point...
