Re: [CQ-Contest] Zone 27

[dennis o'connor <k8do@mailblocks.com>]

Hmmm... My own naivete got me on this one... I contest for fun, not 
blood... It turned out that I didn't even get back to the office until 
this morning (Monday) to read the replies; being that I do not have any 
form of Internet or packet radio in the shack, or even on the property 
for that matter...

Since I found a half dozen flamers questioning my ethics, in the email 
this morning over my idle question, I decided to do a bit of internet 
snooping - which I would have done on my own if I were looking for a 
way to cheat - It took a mere 0.27 seconds to find multiple sources 
listing the contesters who advertised they were looking for Q's in zone 
27 during CQWW CW 2004...  Doh!!!!

Now, the quandry: It turns out I worked AH2R an hour earlier than the 
fading signal I asked about! (which was likely them again) Now, being 
that I have asked in public (instead of quietly going to Google) there 
would be the appearance, to those who care enough to look, that I 
received assistance in working them... So, I feel obligated to remove 
that contact from my log, dropping one country and one zone in the 
process...

Now the question: How do I inform the CQ contest committee, or mark the 
log, that I removed the Q so that AH2R is not penalized for a UBN?

Cheers anyway,

K8DO
