[CQ-Contest] SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CHAPTER: I CAN'T REMEMBER

[Tod Olson]

In the process of discussing other things don¹t forget Jim¹s very cogent
suggestion that you get an Automatic Credit for your country and Zone.

That one should not be controversial and could be incorporated without
changing the rules to a Beta Test version. It will have very little effect
on the final results for almost everyone. It is left as an ³exercise for
the student² to analyze whose 'ox will be gored' by Jim¹s proposed Bingo
change.
