[UK-CONTEST] AFS contest etiquette

[colin wilson]

Bob

In my experience this practice is very rare, G3MIR may of course have
been confused with the type of contest this was, he may for a moment
have thought it was a sprint?  He may even have thought it was the other
chaps frequency! OK I'm not making excuses for him I don't even know him
but its possible?
Generally operating procedures during contesting are very good, don't
let this bad example put you off!

Let me put it this way... I am new to contesting (less than a year) and
if 
this question doesn't solicit the answers I am expecting, I won't be 
contesting much longer.......
