[CQ-Contest] Proposed contest rules

[Steve London]

Gee, I know of someone 2000 miles from the Atlantic who won the USA in 
SOAB, CQWW Phone, 2013. By your definition, Jim, I guess he was just a 
non-competitor. Maybe he should send the plaque back to PVRC, its 
sponsor, so they can award it to a worthy competitor.

Dripping with sarcasm (in case anyone couldn't deduce that),
Steve, N2IC
