"If you want to give a tip of the hat to the PJ4G folks for finding and
exploiting said loophole, well, they or someone on the team did the work and
uncovered it.
The important thing is... They did not break the rules, in fact they strictly
adhered to the rules, as they were written at the time. Now that it's been
exposed,
the loophole has been closed and the unintended consequence should not happen
again. And that is how it should be. And that should be the end of that."

*************************************************
I wholeheartedly agree with Ron's statement above. As a correlation to the
recent "Dual CQing" issue, in the '90s I took hiatus from
playing radio and went sports car racing at tracks up and down the west coast.
In that sport, it didn't take long to realize that if you
weren't exploring the "gray areas" of the rules you were running at the back of
the pack. Much like the "Dueling CQ" situation, when
things got a little too "progressive" or rules bent a little too far, the rules
were clarified, the cars changed back to a correct state and off
you'd go. Unlike motor sports, there's no up-front Tech Inspection in
radio contesting. Issues such as this will generally only appear
after the fact. In this case, the rules were modified to delete the "gray
area" and life goes on. No harm, no foul.
