[CQ-Contest] Many US stns out of band (John Dorr)

“Yes, we only remove the offender's QSO, NOT both. We don't expect ops to
adjudicate OOB QSOs in real-time on the receiving side.”

Great!   That seems like good judgement by the adjudicators.  But they are
missing another aspect:

When I get OOB callers from the US, I often tell them “you’re outside the
US phone band.”   The usual response is silence, but more than a few delete
the QSO from their logs.  In adjudication, I get assessed a penalty for
“NOT IN LOG” QSOs, even though I worked the station.

So, should I work the OOB Yanks, and say nothing?   Should I refuse to log
the OOB Yanks?   Their repeated calls get annoying, sometimes quite
desperate and often a source of QRM.

This is tangly stuff.
