Good.
I hope the World of contest judging would be so simple.
There is more.

Next question we see in the Pandora's box:

HE4RME complains on CQ-Contest reflector:
I called CQ on Internet Protocol.
I was asked on internet protocol if I heard CQ0IP calling me.
CQ0IP himself was asking.

I have CQ0IP in my contest log submission and also CQ0IP has me on his log
submission.
CQ0IP wrote a frequency on his message so I QSYed there and I was there.
But the evidence the contest committee presents as a true recording on the
band shows there was no actual radio contact.
How can the committee say there was no radio contact?
We both were transmitting each others' calls on the same frequency!
Why are we penalized for our activity?


I hope this clarifies the opening gray line to all.


73,
