Hello guys,
I can't see what all the fuss is about. No one is going to penalize you
for having zero pointers in your log. We all need the US zones.
I suspect people just don't like the look of a QSO in there log which isn't
contributing to their score. Actually, it takes more effort to remove it
than it does to leave it in, doesn't it?
I don't mind just as long as the zero pointers aren't lining up to work me,
like in WPX. When I'm working zero pointers, I can't be working ones that
do count. Once in a while if fine.
I would think the ops calling you for a zero point QSO should at least be
considerate enough not to do so during a good EU run or something. Come by
and see me sometime when the rate is down.
