[CQ-Contest] CQ WPX rules, it finally happened

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Everyone is nit-picking IDing every 3 QSOs or what happens if they 
squeeze a 4th or 5th QSO in without ID. I see this rule aimed at the 
clown that runs a frequency for 15 minutes without IDing. THAT is 
unsportsmanlike in my book. Where better to state where the gray line is 
being drawn than in the actual rules?
