I got pinged once for a busted call when I worked a friend during a
contest who was not in the contest. He heard me in the contest,
answered my CQ, we chatted for a moment, I logged him and he gave me a
contact S/N 001. I was his only contest contact. I considered him a
unique call contact for me, the contest people said he was a busted
call. They did not indicate what they believed the call should have been.
It wasn't a big deal, just one QSO, but makes me wonder........
Such calls appear as unique & in cases can be reasonably
interpreted as being bad by contest committees.
And reasonable contest committees will accept your asking
why it was considered a bad call. I once saw a former colleague
who moved to Manila in my UBN report & under the circumstances
it was changed to a unique. He got on for the first time & perhaps
last time for years to come to say hi & give me a Q - quite an
extreme but otherwise obvious unique that could have been bad.
