I'm NOT OK with RDXC rules and stopped operating it years ago. Weaker (or
farther from the coast) stations get unequally penalized for busted calls from
THE OTHER GUY and not in their control. Ultimately, this could encourage
sending the other guy's exchange back to him for confirmation. Do any of us
want THAT to start?
Worse yet, one year I was slammed by >15% for working guys that were "not
really in the contest" (quoting the sponsor) when I was running casual US ops.
Working someone MAKES him in the contest. We are doing no favor for
contesting or ham radio when we tell casual ops trying to be friendly and give
us a point that they don't count.

I wonder why everyone is Okay then with even more ridiculous rules in
RDXC - if one of the parties makes mistake in the call or exchange, the
QSO is being removed from both LOGs.
And this contest was among the most valuable contests for WRTC selection!
We can't control other party's copying and/or logging skills.
Especially with the army of modern "point-and-click'ers".
