For every rogue caller there are tens, if not hundreds, listening.
Once you work one, that tells the others it's OK to call. Then it's
free-for-all, you get spotted on the cluster, and you're knackered -
only way out is to QSY and start again.

Operating a restricted-audience contest from a rare or even semi-rare
location can be hard work.
