[CQ-Contest] Working Split In A Contest Is Verboten!

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi Jim

congratulations for your QRP entry, a big challenge!

In other cases from station far from USA and if stations know that K5AA is
not W0ZZ will be easy

If I have a strong signal in USA on 80 mts so I can go over all this guys
that answer when you are not calling them, will be easy

And fortunatelly I didn´t do QRP like you, This will be a waste of time
because nobody will hear which station I am calling

So I think are diferent situations
