[UK-CONTEST] Sprint penalties

[Peter Hobbs]

Stewart
The rules seem quite clear - no calling and no CQ-ing within 2kHz of 
your last QSO.  If you call a station closer than this and are then 
called you would expect to lose both QSOs. This assumes you use a logger 
that reads and reports your frequency, but of course there is no 
compulsion (yet) to implement this.

Yes I know I should use SD which apparently flashes at you if you haven't moved by the required amount but swapping programs from my normal N1MM isn't good for my brain; maybe I'll see if it's possible to set up a macro..it'd be handy for the EUSprints too.
