I was one of those callind CQ ROOKIES ONLY, but it wasn't because I'm a mean old
guy. :-) I interpreted the zero-point rule to mean that non-rookies should
focus on working the new folks instead of working stations we have probably
worked many times before. Who cares if us old timers rack up a bunch of points?
This contest is for the rookies!
The rules could stand a little reworking, I think.
