[CQ-Contest] Improper WPX Exchanges

[Alan Leith]

If the contest organizers don't pay any attention to the reports exchanged
then I guess they don't really care.  But as I understand it, Tom, the WPX
rules clearly indicate an exchange is a signal report and a serial number.
Flagrantly ignoring the rules constitutes disqualification, in my books.
Plain and simple.  Change the rules and I'll accept it.

Hi Alan

Don't think anyone would even pay attention.  Just TU QRZ after you give
them a 579 report.  I have to admit that I have gotten a 'true' report
before and never changed it in my log, just left it at 599.  73 Tom W7WHY
