There were a bunch of BAD contest calls. For example:
9A15DX (aka 9A1HDX)
YT0TESLA (or something like that)
A lot of the new Swedish calls.
As soon as TESLA called me, I was expecting WL not to accept all those
letters. Fortunately, it did.
Despite the no-code trend, perhaps a CW proficiency test is in order to
get DX spotting privileges during a contest :.)
