> Hi all,

> I had a heated debate with one of my fellow contesters over NFD and we'd
> like to see whether there is a consensus in UK contesting land.
>
> Basically the scenario is that we as a contesting station encountered
> someone who isn't in the contest and won't give a serial number. What to 
> do?
>
> Q: Do you log them as serial number 1 (as the contest rules state that all
> serials start with 1) or do you infer a number 1 and move on.
>
> The argument is that SD lets you log a serial number 0, and N1MM won't - 
> it
> needs a number 1 or more. This became an SD vs N1MM debate.
>
> The question is more likely, SHOULD you be able to log a serial number of 
> 0?
>
> My personal view is no, and that's where it starts to go downhill...
