[CQ-Contest] Back to basics

[Radio K0HB]

The Armenian judges gave this a 9.8 on the Olympic Troll-O-Meter, but 
they were over-ruled by the umpires in instant replay, who award it a 
1.4. 
The Armenian judges lodged a formal protest! 

It was sufficiently trollish, of course, but way too obvious. 
It was poorly written, poorly executed, and was so incredibly 
lame as to lack the true drawing power of a really masterful 
troll.
Maybe as high as a 1.6 for the intense pathos of the 
premise, but a 9.8?  Never!
The Armenian judges tear their 
hair out, throw their balalaikas down in dismay, and perform 
the traditional Armenian Dismay Chant!  They demand a recount!
