[CQ-Contest] Do I need to operate assisted to figure out the calls?

[Bob Henderson]

Surely what you describe is more of a reaction than a solution.

A solution would be to set out in the rules what is acceptable then
penalise none compliance.

My solution to this problem is simple. I call them. If I'm a dupe, it wastes
their time, too. Good. I work them, and ask for their call. If they give
their
call, and it's a dupe, it wastes their time, too. Good. If they still don't
send
it, I simply move on. I lose nothing, they get a much-deserved NIL. If more
of
us did this, it would affect their behavior in future contests.
