CQ WW 2013 log check

The CQ WW log check report for my submission dropped into my mailbox last night and it looks like i’ve got a few busted QSOs. Ended up with 177 contacts and 60 828 points (down from the 185 QSOs and 70 716 points in my initial submission). Turns out there’s also a point penalty for QSOs that aren’t in the other person’s log, or incorrectly copied call signs. 4 of my QSOs got dropped for not being in the other contact’s log, which is kind of disappointing because I know at least two of them were clearly copied by both sides (at least I thought so anyway). Another 4 QSOs got dropped because I didn’t copy the call sign correctly (either typo’d or heard incorrectly). Rats.

On the other side, 2 stations didn’t copy my call sign correctly, and 3 got the exchange wrong.

I like these log check reports. Gives me some things to keep in mind for the next contest.
