Perhaps, then, casual contesters (I being one) should start to foul the
system by giving honest reports. I certainly will do this in every contest
I play around in, in the future.
Inspired by this thread, I did exactly that for the 90 qsos I made in the
couple of hours I was on in the WPX. I sent a uniform, non-59 report.
I was only calling guys, most of whom had fairly strong signals. I was
running the amplifier, so I doubt that I was very weak.
A very few big guns stopped to note the non-59, but most people were either
very good at logging non-59 reports in tempo, or never noticed the
difference. I suspect the later. I did not emphasize the report, but neither
did I
mumble it, I think.
One friend did give me a 51 +30 report. Not sure how that works.
Now to remember to get out the text editor before I send in my log.
Do these reports get checked in the log checking process?
