Well, if more people is thinking on this way, I see a short live to our hobby
Is not about the rules, is about the ethics, gentleman's
We don't need people looking for the small letters of the rules to take
advantage
I read somewhere else that they first submit the log to CQWW as M2 and then
they sent another day as MM
So if you agree with that because within the rules they can send as M2 or MM we
are very bad
So V47T or CR3OO would change for SOAB HP ASSISTED to win the plaque and this
is ok for you?
