I operated the CQMM DX Contest in 2023 using the callsign ZF2MA. It was a fun
experiment and I was not making a serious effort.
When the results appeared, I saw that I had a score reduction of more than 9%. This is
very high for me and much higher than the other stations around my score. I wrote to the
contest manager and he informed me that, "Only stations that DO NOT SEND LOGS but
that appear in 5 or more different logs received by the Contest Organizing Committee are
validated contacts."
I do not find this anywhere in the rules. ZF is not rare DX, but I guess I had enough
callers that 107 of my 1517 QSOs were declared "invalid."
I just wanted to let everyone know of this hidden rule.
