The rule says:  "Exchange: RST plus for the first contact, the entrant's 
own postcode. For each subsequent contacts, RST plus the postcode 
received from the previous contact."

For a newcomer who didn't already understand what's unusual about 
ROPOCO, that wording could very easily be misinterpreted... and 
evidently it was! And the other unusual feature isn't mentioned at all.

How about "Exchange: RST plus the postcode received from the previous 
contact. The postcode from the previous contact must be sent exactly as 
it was received and logged; if it appears to contain errors, these must 
not be corrected. For the first contact only, send RST plus your own 
postcode."
