If, Danny, you think that busted calls are not possible on RTTY or PSK,
I respectfully suggest that you have a bash at being a QSL Manager.

I am currently ploughing through over 1,000 Buro cards for 9M6XRO - who,
many will agree is a darn good operator, especially on Digimodes [Not to
mention his CW skills]

So far, and I am about halfway though this pile - I have had NO busted
calls on CW, but several on both RTTY & PSK. It is very easy for an 'N'
to become a 'W' or a 'C' to become a 'D', especially under contest
conditions wher a call may be seen only once.

We appreciate you know your own call, but can you guarantee that every
other which floats up the waterfall is good and valid ?
