[CQ-Contest] Station not giving a check or section

[Felipe J Hernandez]

THere where only 2 or 3 kp4's active.
I was one of them, I suspect that maybe trying to save time he cut it short, the piles were so crazy
that we had to work split in order not to be covered by the QRM of the callers..
It was difficult since I had to listen for QRP's and VE's to give the opportunity to as many guys in all classes.

If my testimonial helps in any way there was a logical explanation of what you heard, Im sure that he gave the rest of the information maybe not all the time but Im sure that everyone that worked him got the whole thing
otherwise the software wouldhave not logged the entry.

Perhaps the ARRL can understand the good intentions...

  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.

  There were a lot of guys needing the PR section when he showed up on 20M late Sunday afternoon, so the pile up was pretty big. I chose not to try and work the guy and took a chance on finding another one later in the contest. I got lucky and worked PR with less than a half hour left Sunday evening for the sweep.

  So what do you guys think, should it be counted or not?
