Unfortunately, most of the "casual" guys don't read this reflector.  The
people who I am explaining the Sweepstakes exchange to Sunday afternoon,
for instance.

Having lost the Atlantic Division in SS a couple of years ago by a
single QSO, I do firmly believe every QSO matters.

Fortunately, most of the contests don't remove unique QSO's from the
logs...
