[UK-CONTEST] Super Check Partial.

I think you answered your own question.

Remember the old Tommy Cooper joke? A man went to the doctor and said  " 
doctor, when I move my arm like this it hurts". In reply the doctor 
said, "well don't do it then" !


If you're not comfortable, just don't submit your logs. It will make an 
imperceptible difference as many others will so do. Your personal " 
statement" will probably place you in the OFs' category, and sadly there 
is no official classification for such in major contests, save perhaps 
for BERU where it is mandatory. It is sometimes a lonely place to dwell, 
but at least your arm won't hurt as much!

I recall as a contesting rookie, talking after one contest to a well known and respected contester who still posts here very regularly. The subject was about a station who had been sending at a superfast speed and I just couldn't be sure of the c/s so I asked him what that guys c/s was.(*) He responded to the effect my question was not playing the game, just be true to yourself and record what you heard. At the time that made me feel quite small, but it was good advice
