[CQ-Contest] motivation for ARRL M/S rules?

[Randy Thompson]

OK, I will start.

I am on band B.  What if I call a station on band A (but don't log it)

People will have plenty of time to think about these things as they are
sitting there for 28 minutes having mistakenly already used their 6
changes in the hour.  You had better learn to count to six!

Randy, K5ZD
