We've been through this before. Other station QSLs my call, types in the
wrong call. I get penalized. How does this make use of MY skills? Bogus
rule. I don't play this contest.
Yes and no. Let's say you're running with no cluster, you're in W6, with
the path to EU over the pole and lots of auroral flutter. That's the way
it is for at least half of the time on 20M. Under these conditions,
you're trying to copy a guy running 35 WPM (or even 45). If I call them
at 30, they can't copy me, so I slow down to 26. But they don't slow
down for me. Don't these guys understand that when I'm fluttered to them
that they are also fluttered to me? These guys SHOULD be penalized when
the other station doesn't get their call right or blows the exchange.
