Who enters a contest worrying about penalties?
For the vast majority of entrants, it seems they don't care about penalties
or what their final score is.
It's all about playing with the radio : making qsos is what is fun!
Aside from the really competitive guys (who the rules are intended for) I
bet few really care about any of this stuff.
While there are exceptions when I am a serious competitor, when I'm not, I
really don't give a hoot.

Amazing! Betcha we'll attract a lot of new guys who might still be a
little unsure of their skills.
We are our own worst enemy!
