[CQ-Contest] Check In SS

[Keith Dutson]

Apples and Oranges.

Signal report is subjective.  Year licensed is a fact, not subject to
judgement.

However, you have brought up an important point of contesting.  Speed is
important to a good score, so that is why you hear some contesters running
30-35 wpm CW play the 599 at 50+ wpm.  At this point, I think contesting
ceases to be fun.  But, how do you deal with highly competitive contesters?
Just let them play their part, and play your own.  This way we can cut down
on complaining.  Just my .02.

73, Keith NM5G

On the subject of the appropriateness of sending something other than the
correct year-first-licensed as a check during SS, allow me to play devil's
advocate.

Isn't a signal report part of the required exchange in many contests?

I wonder how many folks who want accurate SS checks ever send anything other
than 5NN / 59 / 599 as their signal reports in those contests.
