That would imply that NAQP entrants have exclusive use of the bands during
NAQP which is not the case.
I am not competing for anything in NAQP, stew or any other contest if I
work a few contacts and don't submit a log. (I do submit a checklog out of
courtesy sometimes) It is very much unreasonable to ask non participants to
abide by the rules, plain and simple.
