Log Checking Reports for VHF Contests (was: [NLRS] June VHF contest results are out)

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Glen (and others interested),

I, too, noticed a drop from my 'claimed' to the published score, of close to 
3%, and, by looking in the Database of scores (also available only to 
members), I see that there was a reduction of 4 QSOs and 1 Multiplier in my 
score, all on 50 MHz. Other bands were OK.

Comparing the posting of Glen's results on the NLRS page to the ARRL Scores 
database, I see a reduction of 2 QSOs and 1 multiplier on 50 MHz and 2 QSOs 
on 222 MHz.

As far as what actually might have happened, Rule 7.8 of the General contest 
rules talks about the pentalties for dupes, miscopies and busts. I'm pretty 
sure my checking for dupes was accurate (and dupes aren't *supposed* to be 
penalized in an electronic log anyway) so I'm guessing that I had two 
miscopies or busts, plus two more assessed as penalty, for the reduction of 
four, and one of them must have been a unique mult. I logged on paper while 
roving, and transferred to computer later to generate Cabrillo, so maybe I 
made a transcription error or maybe I thought I worked someone that I 
didn't...it would be nice to know for sure!

Personally, I would also like to see the Log Checking Reports (LCRs) made 
available for the VHF Contests.

Since the League seems to have the process in place to make the LCRs 
available (at least for Sweepstakes and the DX Contests...160 Meter contest, 
too), it seems it should not be too difficult to add it for VHF Contests 
(which also typically represent smaller counts of logs). Is that something 
that "we" want to push for, either individually or as NLRS or through other 
contest clubs to which we belong?

73, JK

My claimed score was 49,200 but the ARRL lists my score as 48,114.  Thats a
2.2% difference!  I think this is a smaller difference than January, but 
it's
still a lot.  I'd really like to find out what caused the discrepency.  I
think the loss of just one or two grids would do it.  Did anyone find out 
what
happened with January's scores?

Maybe it's time for a "broken QSO" report for the VHF+ contest?
