There is no real point of worrying about what the other guy is using.
We only can control our personal operation, and really have to leave the
other end of the Q to manage theirs.

They are so cheap that people would buy their own and have friends
around the world set them up. It is probably being done now. There
is no way to stop the cheating. They are individual awards. Some
will cheat and most will do it right. I could work a lot more DX if I
had a remote receiver in W1 land on 160. With remote operations
being acceptable across a vast distance like the USA does it really
matter?
We have had the DX clusters for years and we still have no
registration system and still get people cheating on them and posting
with fake calls etc.
Best of luck making cheaters adhere to more rules.

Yes, this is part of the issue we all face with the vaidation of
QSO's and its not going to go away either. As more and more people
realize whats happening, they are going to question their qso's. At
the moment there is perhaps only one way to test the qso, and that is
to see if other stations from the same area are also coming in a
approx the same level as the station you worked. Even this may not be
fool proof for those who chase "the paper trail". Cooperation is
going to be needed from all SDR party's to try and sort it all out. A
possible solution if to use an identification system on the
designated sdr websites, which will prove a qso via that particular
method. But this too takes two to tango and people working together,
otherwise the award system may collapse into a meaningless pile on
the floor.
As newer technology appears, things may get even worse for those
concerned.Talking about this may bring it into the open via various
magazines and amateur radio society's.Watch this space...hi
