Lee , thanks for correcting my math. Still suffering from the
nasty cold that knocked me out of the contest

I think in Rick's case 500 Qs is pushing 10%.
And for the record, I don't think Rick and his guys are lids - unless they
don't log zero-pointers...I think he's as frustrated at working the
zero-pointers as I am about losing a mult because of not having a zero-point Q
logged. And it's extremely frustrating to have a pileup of S1 signals calling
you from EU when you've got a couple (especially slow!) loud zero-pointers
calling you.

Over 500 zero point Qs, that is less than 1 percent. Not so bad,
as others stated they were mults for the other guy. I had close to 2% zero
point Qs and I’m glad to give out the mult.

Hi All..I am going to disagree with some of you..we had over
500 zero point qso's in the log..at our average hourly rate of 160 per hour
that is 3 + hours that for all intensive purposes are wasted.....who knows how
many qrp and low power guys were calling and got frustrated and moved on
because we had to work the loud W"s...just my 0.02 worth from here..do I
think they will change the rules..never...but it gets me that most of these
zero pointers think they are helping out! Duh!

I could not agree more with Lee. I won't mention the
call of the zone 5
station I worked that I was certain after listening carefully to the way
the exchange was handled I was not in their log. So I had to work
another one. This happens a lot in this contest for reasons Ill never
understand - why not log it if you took the time to work it?

No, but the US stations that work other US stations and don't log them
should be DQ'd. IMO.
