[RTTY] UKR DX Contest

[Scott Nichols]

That's the way I read it too Steve...Looks to me like the sponsors are 
trying to discourage full-fledged SO2R...At least there are no penalties for 
"testing the waters" on a marginal bands...If I want to see if anything is 
happening on 10 or 15 for example, I can make a couple QSO's (non-mults) and 
decide if I want to stay there or not...If I don't, I can abandon the "test" 
band before 10 minutes is up and only lose points for the QSO's I made 
there...No penalty in that case...Or is there ? The rules say "no penalties 
for QSO's made by mistake"...I guess QSO's made under this tactical decision 
making process, and subsequently abandoned, couldn't be considered 
"mistakes"...Or is this a rules translation issue ?...I dunno...Maybe 
someone can clarify...

C U in UKR DX  and SS CW this weekend...MUCH looking forward to WAEDC RTTY 
next weekend...

73, Scott VE1OP
