[CQ-Contest] What Do You Do about US Stations Calling US in ARRL DX?

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Steve has a good point.

Working them and leaving them in the log is the most prudent course of 
action. It "hurts" nothing or anyone. The contesting community needs to look 
"outside their game" to see the impact of their actions. We're trying to 
recruit new contester, not drive them away!

Work them, log them, upload them to eQSL / LoTW or reply to their QSL card 
when it arrives.

Blowing them off in the contest and not logging them only makes you look 
arrogant.
