[CQ-Contest] QSO Party Rules

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Nonetheless, I have to wonder why anyone would boycott a particular QSO 
party because of its rules.  Do you really care about your QSO party 
score, or do you get on for the fun of working people?  I've always 
assumed that the only people who cared about scores were the in-state 
folks anyway.

73, Pete N4ZR
