[CQ-Contest] unscrupulous behavior

An unscrupulous person (not me!) might discourage this by
intentionally spotting non-IDer's calls incorrectly by a dit or
two.  Such as BY5A instead of 6Y5A, or ER8A instead of EF8A, etc.  :-)

Maybe...but a person who wanted to get the point across might mis-spot them by one
dit or dah, WHILE STILL PLACING THEM IN THE CORRECT ZONE (unlike your examples).

Then BOTH parties might better get the message...make the runner ID and make the
caller actually listen for the call.  Otherwise, too easy to copy the mismatched zone, assuming
they actually listen at all.
