[CQ-Contest] serial numbers

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Thank you, but when I invite K3AIR over, I'd like him to help operate the
radio, not bill me to explain the nuances of the rules to me.

Maybe it's just me being old and cranky, but I have to wonder...

Is it so hard to expect "common" sense to be applied?  Or do we too many
jokers who like to play as pseudo-lawyers and look for every minute crack
that can be turned into a loophole to exploit?

2, 44, 144, 1044, this sequence does look like progress is being made.

Time to call out the lawyers :)
