Perhaps we are going abt this all wrong?!?!?!? A rallying cry.....if you
are sick and tired of all the vanity callsign BS, please PSE send
private e-mail to the CQ-Contesting reflector co-ordinator <and/or
whoever else is in charge here!>. Maybe then it will end. Or perhaps we
should go the CQ-Contesting FAQ route and send the pertinent pieces to
the offending "vaniteer", ie:

> * Contester's shack (inside) hardware/software: Must be relevant to

> * Contester's outside shack (antennas/towers/coax/relays): Again, must

> * Contester's strategy: Before, during, after. How you planned/executed
> your activities.
> * Contester's skill: What you do that makes you good (or bad).
> * Contester's stories: Must be directly about contesting.
> * Contest ethics
> * Contest rules
> * Contest operators: who was where, who is good, who is an SK, etc.
