Sounds bogus to me. As so many others have suggested, this judgement implies that RDXC has done full analysis of yours and others QTHs, feed systems, antennas, antenna interactions, etc., etc. Heck,
They appear to be deliberately concealing their methodology - shame on them! 73, Pete N4ZR Download the new N1MM Logger+ at <http://N1MM.hamdocs.com>. Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://
I think regional events should be held prior to each WRTC. Say two qualifying events. Everyone who wish to qualify would spend their own money to attend. These regional events could be organized and
Kelly, I am saying that we should treat this case as a possibility to work out universally accepted methods of pinpointing power violators. That is if we want to keep power categories separate. And t
Igor, Are you saying that just because we have not come up with a proven means to determine power cheating, we should merely accept the results of an irrefutably flawed analysis? Even the chief promo
Of course, the sponsor is not required to reply here. I believe the comment was meant to state that they have not replied satisfactorily to anyone, anywhere. They have not answered much from Bob's
Hi Igor, As every acknowledged expert on this forum has pointed out, so many variables contribute to differences in signal strength that pinpointing a power difference as the sole cause, based only o
Hi Kelly, I am not arguing with every acknowledged expert on this forum. I am just trying to summon these experts to suggest the method of fighting power cheating. Are there tools other then RBN to h
You say "To establish RBN analysis as a reliable means of determining power cheating were it even possible would require extensive, controlled experimentation" which I read - "we do not have reliable
I didn't say that, did I? What I am saying is the RDXC method is far from beyond reproach, and that if we are to develop means of detecting cheating, it's going to take a whole lot more than examini

Actually Pete, that is very smart of them. They should not reveal their methods to suspected cheaters. It would only help to avoid detection next time. 73, Zoli HA1AG ________________________________
I seem to recall that CQWW's ill-fated "onsite observer program" was intended to address this issue of power cheating (among other kinds), precisely because of the difficulty of determining what was
I started boycotting it a couple of years ago. While Bob's saga is the worst I have ever heard of, the RDXC has had a history of changing scores drastically and there is no way you can make heads or
No "even" about it, Kelly - but let's be clear - VE3NEA is the grand poobah. It is his software that measures the SNR. I'm just a propagandist and (I hope) a relatively accurate relayer. 73, Pete N4Z
<tongueincheek> But I thought that K0HB and others here gave testimony that less than 0.01% of contesters would even think of cheating? You make it sound like it's actually a problem. </tongueincheek
Igor, With all due respect, IMHO, fighting alleged "cheating" by not contacting the accused, asking him for his side of the story, and worse, simply flat out telling him he's a cheater with no allowa
I support Martin on this. Regional events (we can discuss how many) will be THE ONLY fair selection method. There is too much dirty games going on in WRTC qualifications. We all know about this. We k
If the RDXC Committee did indeed, as it said, use a flawed technology/method to determine that HP was being used, it is obvious that the conclusion they made should not be considered valid. There see
I share your concern Igor. I think most contesters do. I have no complaint over efforts to improve fairness in contesting, indeed I support and applaud all that are well considered and implemented. S
