[CQ-Contest] SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. 20

[Jim Neiger]

        TOP TEN REASONS WHY SOME CHANGE THEIR CONTESTING CATEGORY AFTER 
THEIR LOG IS  SUBMITTED OR POSTED ON 3830


10.   I saw that my score in the new category would be No. 1.

 9.    I knew I could get away with it.

 8.   Special friends deserve special favors.

 7.   I knew the contest committee doesn't like to DQ anyone, so why not 
take a chance?

 6.   I was a WRTC competitor and everyone must know that I'm an amazing 
operator and as pure as the arctic snow.

 5.   I was really a multi-operator but Assisted sounded plausible, too.

 4.   The Emperor of the contest threatened to change it for me if I didn't 
send in a new log.

 3.   No one really cares if people cheat.

 2.   My original posting of World No. 1 SO/AB was attracting too much 
attention because my multiplier was
       higher than the five-man Multi-2 in my country.........and they had 
packet!!

And the No. 1 Reason why categories are sometimes changed..............

1.   When submitting my score on 3830 I hit the wrong key on the computer.
