One of those DQed is a YB who made about 50 QSO's, and may not even understand what self-spotting is. But the worst that happens to a USA contester, who knowingly or carelessly works stations out-of-band, is that he/she loses the QSO and gets a slap on the wrist.

That's simply a message to USA contesters that, in the future, they have nothing to lose (except possibly the QSO) if they work stations out-of-band.

Out of band:  Most out of band qsos were disallowed for those who were out of band for 
the QSO in question – this was applied globally.  Often, one party is legal on 
a frequency, another is not.  Those who operated out of their band were penalized and 
given no credit for those qsos / mults.  No one was DQed for this offense regardless 
of country / zone etc.  Some who exhibited excessive carelessness about this matter 
were given formal warnings.

Along with the other absurdities, the thought that USA / VE was given any favor 
is again completely without any merit.
