Thats all I was wondering, if the one time DQ or a penalty like the quarterback is getting.

Joe, the penalty is that the man was DQ'd.

When I was a lad and needed correction I got whatever penalty my Dad thought warranted. There was no "long for the future" whippings to come due. Rather the follow on often was "now let's go catch some fish for supper".

    A violator was found, and has been prosecuted by both the contest

    I may have missed this next part. But what is happening next? The
    station was DQ'ed from this years contest.

    OK,

    Now what if any penalties are imposed and for how long for the future?
