[CQ-Contest] saving us from ourselves

[jfunk at adams.net]

Greetings, fellow combatants.... 

If one had not had anything else to do this weekend (it WAS only a phone 
contest), it would have been instructional to have spent a bit of time 
listening in the 40 meter band and logging callsigns of stations calling on 
the wrong VFO.  Obviously, a lot of us are either sleep-deprived or not 
familiar with the equipment we are using, or both.  Yes, I've done it. 
(Don't *think* I did this weekend, but...) 

Question 1:  What tips are out there for avoiding this?  I think we could 
use some.
Question 2:  Is it true that a couple of OO notices during a contest 
constitutes grounds for DQ? 

Just curious.
73, Jim N9JF
