That's 25% not 30%. This year our percentage is below 20%. And
critically, we never ask Gs to come on and work only GB5HQ. We want them
to enjoy the contest and make as many QSOs as possible. I believe it is
unethical to work only your own country, and if the problem cannot be
addressed by any other means then I would support exclusion of own
country uniques, leaving it up to the adjudicators precisely how to
define a unique.
