I am not sure we need any punitive post-contest action. Several W's-CQing-in-DX-Window was very obvious on the first night.
I think due to somebody seeing our discussion here, and relating it to the problem ops, on the second night the problem was far less. Who knows, maybe the contest director contacted the problem ops by landline. I would prefer that behavior be improved through friendly reminders during the event, rather than post-contest action long after the event. I worked a good amount of DX (OK, a good amount for me, remember I'm not your guy to say that I worked 128 JA's in a morning!) in the contest, both in and outside the DX window and was happy. I am reluctant to recommend a rewrite of next years wording to the word "shall". I think DX should be allowed outside the window and I think "shall" would require the DX to be in the window. That would be unfortunate.

That's not practical to enforce via logs because some participants may be using radios that have no connection to the computer other than the key line. 73 Charlie, N0TT _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected] _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
