Yeah!
One JA complained in every year that his JS3CTQ was appeard as JH3CTQ.
He confirmed that JH3CTQ had not been in major DX contests so JS3CTQ
must be incorrectly copied as JH3CTQ. He asked Dave to remove JH3CTQ and he
kindly remove it. However number of stations copied him wrong and send that
log data again, so JH3CTQ has been appeared again in MASTER.DTA.

I hope this system will work then CTQ will be quite happy.
