Well, guess I qualify ...  speaking of which, you can qualify as a
contesting OF if:

You can remember when there were country quotas in the ARRL DX Test

You worked people on 11 meters in DX contests, and the QSOs counted

You had one-point QSOs in Sweepstakes


Any other ideas for suitable criteria?
