[CQ-Contest] Why?

And of course, we all remember a well know US amateur working in Kuwait, who was known to answer partial calls (and other liddish behavior) with "you're in the log" instead of a signal report.
 
So, someone who called (and called and called ) "FOUR LIMA) and sent a card to that station's manager as "W4LID" would be told... he's not in the log.  The log showed '4L' but not 'W4LID'
 
(apologies to the real W4LID, if any, I simply used that call as an example)

Been there; done that. During the CQ 160 SSB 'test I operated as VP6DX from 
Ducie Atoll in February of 2008 there were two prominent "Big Guns" who 
never made it in the log because of their inability to follow instructions 
and kept calling, calling, calling while I was trying to get another call 
sign correct. This went on for HOURS.

Sad, but true.

Mis dos centavos,

.... CUT ....

If i ever had the chance to be at the other end, I'd make a
list of lid's like this, and make sure they never get worked.

But Just my own opinion.
