Thank you for mentioning this, Doug.
I accidentally was just ever so slightly out of band, not for a contest
but for just a regular QSO, and I felt horribly embarrassed at having to
call quits to a great contact suddenly when I realized what I had done.
I admitted it on the air right then and the other OM was kind about it
and understood.
Since then I have ALWAYS made ABSOLUTELY SURE where I am before uttering
a peep (or a chirp or key click 🙂). I bet that "winner" you mentioned
is just as chastened.
Thanks again.

Gosh...
I rarely comment here, but.....
Before you complain about "does anybody check," how about reading the
yearly results. There are guys dinged and DQ'ed every year for OOB
operations. That includes Advanced and General calls who are OOB.
One year, the "winner" for his category got DQ'ed for OOB.
Yes..it is checked. DUH !!!!
