If a club was trying to achieve a higher club score - why would all of 
their members get on and just work one station?  They would work other 
club members and each other AND they would send in a log.

My basic premise here is that when you see a significant number of 
QSOs that only worked one station - typically something that "smells 
poor" is going on.  It just isn't natural.  Sure, it happens all the 
time when our uncle gets on and works us - or our cross town friend.
BUT, when it happens to the point that 10 percent of your log is made
up of QSOs like this - something has gone wrong.
