[CQ-Contest] Improper WPX Exchanges

[Alan Leith]

Perhaps, then, casual contesters (I being one) should start to foul the
system by giving honest reports.  I certainly will do this in every contest
I play around in, in the future.

If the receiving station has to change the automated 59 entry when he gets
it from a casual contester, maybe something positive can come from this.

You underestimate the skills of casual contesters.
The only breathing space they need is to hear their own call - that tells
them they're supposed to copy whatever is next.

How do casual contesters manage in contests with no RST - like Field Day or
SS?

The bad examples are the mindless repetition of 59(9), and the requirement
for it to be exchanged in the first place.  If CBers did this, you would
laugh at them.
