Good morning,
I got my scoring report from K8CC and was concerned to find
6 Not-In-Log QSOs. These will each incur a penalty of three
equivalent QSOs.
I wish to improve my accuracy in future contests, so I would
like to ask for advice from more experienced contesters - given the
facts below, what can I do to avoid these losses in the future?
I have contacted two of these contesters who are Not-In-Log and
asked them to have a look in their log for the same date and time.
Here are the replies so far:
ZL1ANJ log: 12-Dec-98 2338UTC 10M SSB K1TTT sent 59 1008 received 59 MA

ZL1ANJ log: 12-Dec-98 0115UTC 10M SSB K2BA sent 59 198 received 59 OK

Could the first one be an INVALID QSO for which no penalties are assessed?
