[CQ-Contest] ARRL Phone - 40 m lack of bandplan compliance

[Dallas and Lucy]

With all due respect Rag, Those not observing the bandplan were those
europeans that transmitted below 7040, not those that listened there.  There
are several other continents out there that don't share that bandplan.  In
addition, the bandplan is a recommendation, as I understand it, and not a
regulation enforced by local PTTs, therefore, a penalty is probably not
appropriate.
