[CQ-Contest] RE: Line Scores

[Yo3ctk]

Well, my mistake: I was referring to the ARRL Field Day. Sorry for the 
mix-up, but all my comments stand: we CAN have 12 pages of QST for the Field 
Day (which isn't even a contest) but we CANNOT have some pages for major 
international contests sponsored by ARRL
