Of course copying what is sent wouldn't be a fix to this, Nah!

Shucks, I though "external help" wasn't permitted for the Single Op
categories. Why isn't the use of a "scavenged" list of locations from
previous contests considered "external help?"
All this chitter chatter about folks "illegally using" the RBN and/or
DX clusters when operating Single Op.... but no comment about
flagrant promotion of a "seemingly obvious" violation of the rules???
As "Weekend Update" on "Saturday Night Live" is prone to say,
"REALLY? REALLY??? REALLY?????" (Sorry, no html formatting
allowed in this reflector, at least not in the digest mode which I
use, because of the sheer volume of redundant flames which seem to be
so ubiquitous.)
Prey tell me, why is the use of all this external help NOT a
violation? For me, I find the "help" provided by N1MM software to be
more of a nuisance than useful.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Keep your CTY files updated
I hate post a non-skimmer topic, but...:-)
Just reviewed by CQWW SSB UBN report. 16 stations I worked lost
points for "miscopying" my zone as 5, rather than 4.
For those of you who like to keep manual notes, I moved from PA to CO
3+ years ago. The keepers of the CTY files have been aware of this,
and my callsign has been listed as a zone exception since I relocated.
Moral of the story - Update these files regularly.
