Without doubt the 9M0C team had the right to choose NOT to enter the
contest. The fact that they appeared on CW during the period created a
conflict, but a need for JA QSO's caused the opperation on CW.
My own hunch why a contest exchange was not made would be because 9M0C
was not going to spend any significant time contesting and did not want
to give an unfair edge to a few big guns or buddies.
Internet announcements were made all week prior to the contest that they
would not give contests QSO's.
Don't work anyone, show no favoritism.
