Please note, I said *criteria.*     It would be a simple table, like

What gets you a warning.

     1-5 solicited or self spots

1-5 10-minute rule violations

What gets you a DQ the first time.

More than 5 self-spots

     More than 5 10-minute violations

Log padding, less than 10 QSOs

What gets you a DQ for more than one year

Log padding of more than 10 QSOs

     Second op at a station entered as single op


...And so on

73, Pete N4ZR
