[CQ-Contest] CQWW survey results

[Kelly Taylor]

Hi Doug

Nobody is suggesting otherwise, Stephen is merely pointing out that unless an organizer pays to send someone to the stations claiming that overlay, you can never be certain the claim is legitimate. 

I don't for a second believe that means there shouldn't be such an overlay, it's merely one of many rules that can only ever be enforced on the honour system. 

73, Kelly
