When someone blows me off, I simply add them to my LID/NOCARD file and I
load it in my logger, and when the call comes up I refuse to give points to
someone who treats others like that in the name of contesting and amateur
radio...it is just plain RUDE to behave in such a manner as far as I am
concerned as it is the little guys that make up the majority of the points
given in a contest as we all know and without them many will have fallen off
the mighty pedestals..... IMHO......
happy contesting to all...
