If the CQ'ing station misses the exchange, all he has to do is LISTEN.  The inheriting station is going to send it all again to the next guy.  Decrement # by 1.

It is easier than that. The CQ station sends their exchange first, giving the calling 
station a chance to request fills if needed. So we know the calling station will get 
the exchange. The problem then is that the CQ station may not get the calling 
station’s exchange. If that happens, there is no QSO and thus nothing to log. 
The calling station will get a NIL for the Q he logged.

A double Q removal for NIL should be plenty of incentive, and we have that 
already.

A solution to the ack issue is to make a QSO count (via log checking) only if 
the info is correct on both sides.

Those super competitive would be incentivized to be sure their info was 
received correctly.
