[CQ-Contest] Domestic stations in CQWW

[Stephen M. Murphy]

I noticed this as well, and also attributed it to the newly upgraded hams.
Sure, they didn't count for points in CQWW, but if they enjoyed their taste
of the action, maybe they'll come back for more when they DO count.  I'm
very curious to see if there are more stations with recent "CK"s QRV in
SS-SSB.

If this is true, it's fantastic that they're joining the fun. Maybe it's me,
but it seems that moaning and groaning about contests and contesters is
becoming more and more popular these days.

With the removal of the CW requirement, there was
probably a lot of newly upgraded hams who just got on
the for the contest and really didn't understand the
DX nature of it and just wanted to make contacts.
