Very true.  I don't know of any single radio operator who makes 4000
RTTY QSOs in a 48 hour contest.

The other considerations are - how many QSOs will they have removed
in the log checking process due to "bad calls" and how many duplicate
QSOs will they have because the other station did not get the right
call the first time.
