[PaQSO] VFO Locked Stations

[Jim]

There is one thing that I hope we can see this year. 
That would be the elimination of so-called �VFO locked
stations.�  You know what I mean here.  These people
call CQ continuously and absolutely refuse to turn the
knob.  This hurts us all.  I have nothing against
people calling CQ, but I think that every so often,
especially when rates go down, turning the knob could
not hurt.  If all people call CQ all the time, no one
will ever make a log.  

Case in point:  Last year the effort got 66 counties,
missing only Snyder.  I know from past experience that
there is typically a station from MIF/SNY.  I later
saw that they were active.  Why were they not in our
log?  Towards the end of the contest I told our ops to
hunt for this station, but to no avail.  Obviously
this station never found us either.  This is how this
hurts.  It would have been the first sweep I ever
helped out with and another multiplier.

PLEASE SPIN THE KNOB SOMETIMES.  IT IS PAINLESS!
