This was sent to the ARRL PR reflector (only). I have no idea why it isn't 
being 
distributed more widely.

Attention Cheaters: Note the sentence:

" If exceptional results are claimed, entrants must be prepared to explain how 
they were achieved. "

I hope they mean what they say. I'll be watching closely !

And for you ARRL members, note the sentence:

" The IARU Administrative Council discussed various issues related to the event 
and asked that the ARRL devote the resources necessary to maintain a high 
standard of adjudication. "

Translation: resources == money . ARRL money only. No contribution from the 
rest 
of the IARU.
