Last year I started into a contest (I forget which one now) and just
couldn't get into it. Conditions weren't good. I worked two stations and
gave up.
If one of them doesn't send in a log, the other gets a unique. If one
busts my call, we have two uniques (possibly).
There have been other contests where I worked only two or three stations.
I'm sure others have done this also.
