[CQ-Contest] Re: Partial Exchanges

[Jan Erik Holm]

In the CQWW rules it stipulates clearly that one
has to exchange "RS/RST report plus zone".
Why not play by the rules? In this case you
clearly should have been DQ´ed.
You might call it a irrelevance or what ever but
rules should be followed. If you start to bend
the rules like this where will it end? However
this isn´t even rulebending, it´s a clear case
of not following the rules.
In the future I hope this rule will be enforced.
