Wouldn't it make sense for log checking to either remove OoB QSOs from 
the running station's log without penalty, or to include them with no 
NIL penalty if the offending operator deletes the contact? The latter 
case would seem fairer to the running station, whose time is otherwise 
wasted.

Also if you are a DX station operating out of US band, the only way you can sometimes make the US station go away is QSY in which case he will be right back or take the time to explain to him that you happen to know that he is outside his band…. Or work him and keep running stations as fast as you can.
