Folks,

I just work'em.  Most don't seem to mind.  I have an exchange of calls and
grids.  Yes, I suppose if for some reason somebody not in the contest where
to decide to send in a log and they hadn't logged me because they didn't
get a signal report - why would they send in a log as they are not in the
contest - I could get dinged.  In this weekends contest I did not have a
single person persist in sending R-xx.  They just seemed to move on, too.
If they didn't, I did and let it go.

The real answer is to move to FT4.  From the ground up, a contest mode.
Using 6 as an example let the non-contesters have FT8 and 50.313 and move
the contesters to FT4 and 50.318.  If you can run FT8 you can run FT4.  The
upgrade is a no-brainer.  And FT4 is really, really fast and you have to
pay attention - actually very cool!

How much more kvetching we going to have about this?  It's a  *hobby.*

John
