--------- 
During SS phone last weekend I heard a KP4 sending only his serial number and precedent. He didn't give a check or section. Will it be counted as a valid qso? If it isn't, I wonder how many will miss the sweep because of it. 
--------- 

I asked him for the remaining information and for the check he gave me the following "94 or 95, i can't remember which." When I asked for the full exchange, some other station on frequency started to complain because I was delaying his chance for a sweep - I guess if the KP4ZY doesn't turn in a log it doesn't really matter what i put down. I guess the rules only matter when the other station turns in a log? 

As a side note, some of the contesters out there need to re-read Part 97 Subpart B 97.101d. Firing up 200hz above a station on LSB with the intent of running them off the frequency surely qualifies as willful and malicious interference. And yes I'm pointing my finger at you Mr. 9 call in 6 land.
