I'm delighted when someone breaks a contest rule such as the unique QSY
requirement in Sprint. It usually means they are new and unfamiliar with the
contest. They'll quickly figure it all out soon enough and by helping increase
the participation, everyone wins.
You were doing great every time I heard you. We look forward to many more
Sprint QSOs!
